Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
MEISHO RISE (4) Landed the spoils when winning by 3/4L last start here. Added confidence with Tomohiro Yoshimura doing the steering. Live winning chance. NO TEN P KAN (1) Got the upper hand late when winning last start at this track and drawn well. Expecting to settle positively. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Has the ability to take this out. CINNAMON CHOCOLAT (3) Placed 3rd last time at the track. Been in the placegetters each start this preparation. Suitably placed in this race. MEISHO PISUKARI (8) Finished on top by 3/4L last run here and getting better in recent performances. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Can measure up to this company.

Dug deep to win a C3 at this track last start, beating Namura Danny by a neck after being near the top of an open market. That followed a third to Cool Brave, when he was right there but never threatened the winner after starting at big odds. His track-and-distance record is sound, with one win and four placings from nine tries, so he profiles as a genuine minor-player with some upside third-up.

Finished ninth over 820m at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression late. The run prior was no stronger, as she led into the lane but tired out of it when beaten over 15 lengths by Key Classic. Wataru Hirose going on is a plus, but her recent figures leave her with a lot to turn around.

Worked home evenly for third in C2 company at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Aloha Mau Loa after starting as an outside chance. He had won a C3 here the run prior, beating All The Rage by a length when right there and letting down well. Proven at this track and distance and third-up now, he has the right platform to challenge strongly.

Won first-up in a C3 at this track, scoring by just under a length from O Shin Angel as a prohibitive odds-on favourite after finishing over the top of them. His record at this track and distance is a clear strength, with three wins from eight starts, and Tomohiro Yoshimura has won three from four on him. Back in form and second-up, he sets the standard for the others to reach.

Was unwanted in the market and beaten over 17 lengths in C2 company at this track last start, settling with too much to do and never looking likely. His previous fifth was also plain, beaten just over seven lengths after racing handy enough without finishing off. Four wins at this track and distance show he knows the venue, but recent form says he must lift sharply.

Picked up nicely in the straight when fifth at this track last start, but was still beaten just under seven lengths at long odds. Before that she finished sixth, beaten nine and a half lengths after settling just off the lead. Her 1400m record includes a win and three placings, yet the recent form is only fair and she looks up against the main hopes.

Settled rearward and finished seventh in C2 company at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths after being unwanted in the market. She had been sixth to Key Classic two back, again well held and at a very big price. Two wins at around 1400m are on the page, but the present form line is well short of what is required here.

Dug deep to win a C3 at this track last start, beating Akano Strong by just under a length after being near the top of betting. Two back he was fourth behind Lac Puer, beaten five and a half lengths after settling rearward at big odds. The rise back to C2 is the question, but three track-and-distance wins give him enough substance for the multiples.
