Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
BHADRA (3) Left nothing to chance when winning by 2L last start around here and showing promise in early career. Won't be far away. GOD'S FAVORITE (7) Was fighting out the finish when winning by a head last start at the track and will be well suited at the distance. Putting a tidy record together so far. Well placed and has solid claims. CHARMING NIGHT (10) In the money when 3rd last run at this venue and promising career start. Hiroto Yoshihara and Ikkoo Tanaka must be respected together. In the mix. JOY D'OR (11) Was dominant when winning by 3L last run at the track. Hasn't put a foot wrong this preparation with 2 wins from as many runs. Gets a chance to win.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth at this track, beaten just over seven lengths by Joy D'Or when near the top of an open market. That was only his second start, and his debut win by ten lengths over Hina Decollete showed clear ability. The inside draw and winning rider returning help, but he has ground to make up on the leading chances and profiles as a place hope.

Was safely held last start when fifth at this track, beaten just over eight lengths by God's Favorite after being unwanted in the market. The start prior was weaker again, finishing eighth and beaten over 13 lengths behind Joy D'Or. He is unplaced in four attempts at this track and distance, so a major turnaround is required.

Brings excellent winning form, having scored by two lengths over Rock On D'Oro at this track after being heavily backed into very short odds-on territory. She had also beaten God's Favorite by just under two lengths the run prior. Her record at around 1400m is perfect and the form is easy to respect, although this has enough depth to keep her in the place-claims bracket.

Loomed up last start but failed to finish it off when fourth to God's Favorite, beaten four and a half lengths after sitting near the top of betting. His previous seven-length win over Itoshino Fursa at this track was dominant, albeit in a small field. Proven at the distance and still lightly raced, he can bounce back enough to press for a placing.

Returns from a five-week let-up after running second to Joy D'Or at this track, beaten three lengths despite being unwanted in the market. That followed a third behind Tanomude Tsuyoshi when sent out odds-on, so there is a small winning query, but he has placed in all five starts at this track and distance. His consistency makes him one of the strongest winning threats.

Led first-up at this track but was swamped late and beaten just over nine lengths behind God's Favorite, with no clear excuse in the run. Her debut win over 820m showed early promise, but this is a different challenge and she was unplaced at her only attempt at the distance. She has to find considerably more second-up.

Worked into the race well and won by a neck over Snap Call at this track last start, confirming the consistency shown across five starts. Before that she chased home Bhadra and was beaten just under two lengths, which ties her directly to one of the key form lines. With four starts around 1400m for two wins and two placings, she looks a genuine place chance again.

Finished fourth behind Bhadra at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths at long odds after failing to finish the race off. Her second to Mo Mo Shine two back was sound enough, but that came over 1230m and she was also unplaced at her only run over this distance. The recent pattern says she must lift sharply.

Won first-up at this track over 1400m, beating Ringo Hime by just under a length as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, but he had to fight hard in a small field. His debut third behind Lagertha over 820m was also respectable. The record is tidy, yet this looks a stronger assignment and he has to show that last-start win can translate against deeper opposition.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing third to Joy D'Or at this track, beaten just over three lengths when sent out favourite. He had looked strong the start prior, beating Mo Mo Impact by four lengths after firm market support. With two wins and one placing from three starts at this track and distance, he remains a serious winning chance if he can bridge that latest margin.

Returns from a five-week let-up with two wins from two starts and the strongest current form in the race. She beat Copano Edo Series by three lengths at this track last start after being well found in betting, having won her debut by a long way over Itoshino Fursa. Already unbeaten at the distance and this venue, she has the form edge to justify top billing.

Improved to third behind God's Favorite at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths, but he was close enough if good enough and only battled into the minor money. Two back he was beaten over 14 lengths by Joy D'Or after falling away late. The track-and-distance record offers some support, but the recent form leaves him chasing a big uplift.
