Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400

AI TOWA (5) Just missed last time at this venue and proven runner at this distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Ikkoo Tanaka stable are running hot lately. Suitably placed in this race. BELLAGIO RAO (6) Just missed last run around here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is an asset. Putting up notable efforts since resuming from a spell. Looks to be value. COEUR ET CASSIS (4) Fought on well to win a tight contest by a head last time at this venue. Strong form this preparation winning 3 from 4 attempts. Big danger. RIKEA MACCHIATO (2) Unimpressive effort when 7th last time around here but will try to take advantage of the barrier. Include in chances.

Produced his best result so far when winning a C2 at this track last start, quickening sharply to beat Narita Armor by two and a half lengths at generous odds. His previous third behind Hishi Cullinan was sound enough after he worked home evenly as favourite. One win and two places from three starts at this track and distance keeps him in the mix, though this looks a stronger test than last time.

Has been well beaten at both recent C1 runs, most recently seventh behind Eifer Idol when beaten over 14 lengths at long odds after having the task in front of him. The start prior was also plain, finishing fifth behind Star Of Adam and beaten over 12 lengths. His broader 1400m record is respectable, but recent figures leave him with plenty to find.

Picked up late when fourth behind Pegasus Wind at this track last start, but was still beaten six and a half lengths and started among the outsiders. That followed a heavy ninth behind Star Of Adam when she was close enough but dropped out sharply. She has placed often enough at this venue and distance, yet the winning edge has been missing for some time.

Returned to winning form over 1230m at this track last start, fighting on to beat Civic Charles by a neck when near the top of betting. The concern is her previous run, when fourth and beaten nine and a half lengths by Bellagio Rao at this venue. Her record with Wataru Hirose is strong and the 1400m stats read well, but others bring sharper C1 form.

Has been knocking hard this campaign, finishing second in consecutive C1 runs at this track and missing by only a neck behind Zeus Silhouette last start. The prior second to Squid Run was more safely held, but her overall profile is strong with four wins and three places from ten starts. Three wins and two places from six at this track and distance give her genuine minor claims again.

Narrowly beaten by Myr in a C1 at this track last start after travelling handy and lengthening well, though he was turned over as a short odds-on favourite. That followed a two-length C2 win over Economica when also heavily fancied. With two wins and five places from ten at this track and distance, he brings the most reliable recent profile outside the top pick.

Turned in the race's standout recent performance when winning a C2 at this track by four lengths, coming from midfield and drawing right away from Akao as favourite. Her previous seventh at Chukyo over 1600m was only moderate, but the switch back to this venue brought sharp improvement. One win from three tries at 1400m is enough to trust, and her latest win makes her the one they have to beat.
