Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
MAGNETAR (2) Came in 6th last start at the track. Is capable of a resurgence and drawn nicely. Respect in this event. MODEL CHAN (10) Came in 5th last start here. May see an upturn in form and back over more ground. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Appears well in this. II VISION EIGHT (4) Came in 3rd last run around here. Might have to make up considerable ground. Goes close. EVGENES (3) Finished 5th last time at this track. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Likely to fill a place.

Conceded too much start when eighth in a C3 over 1230m at this track last start, beaten seven lengths after being sent out at big odds. The run prior was much better, finishing third behind Fille Chan as favourite and beaten two lengths. His record at this track and distance is solid enough, but recent inconsistency leaves him with plenty to find against the main chances.

Resumed with a sixth behind All The Rage in a C3 at this track, beaten over 11 lengths, but he did work home and had market respect near the top of betting. His previous run in C2 company was plain, yet he has one win and 17 places from 45 starts at this track and distance. Second-up improvement would make him a major player in this line-up.

Worked home well when fifth behind Become King in a C3 at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths after starting at big odds. His earlier fifth behind Earth Grazer was less effective, but he is now third-up and the winning rider returns. With one win and four places from ten starts under Osamu Shimohara, he has the right profile to turn recent honest efforts into a winning result.

Lifted into third behind Crucifer at this track last start, though the margin was still seven lengths and he only battled into the minor money after having his chance. That followed a seventh behind Cool Brave when he made some late ground from a long way back. A prior track-and-trip win keeps him in the mix, and he looks one of the stronger winning hopes if he can sharpen late.

Settled rearward and finished fifth behind I Samain in a C3 at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. He had also been safely held when sixth behind T O Robinson two back at long odds. Three wins at this track and distance are a positive, but his current form has not been sharp enough to recommend strongly.

Kept working when sixth behind T O Nicholas over 1230m at this track last start, beaten five lengths after starting unwanted in the market. The start prior was a fourth behind Aratama Oso, beaten six lengths, so his recent form is honest without being decisive. Still a maiden after 38 starts, but five placings around 1400m give him a realistic minor-money chance.

Finished eighth behind All The Rage at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths after again starting at long odds. His previous seventh behind Crucifer was also well held, and he was beaten by Magnetar and Ii Vision Eight at this venue a couple of weeks ago. The old track-and-trip record is respectable, but his recent figures point to a tough assignment.

Second-up after finishing last behind All The Rage at this track, beaten over 18 lengths despite settling just off the lead. He had also finished last in C2 grade at the start prior, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds. Tomohiro Yoshimura taking the ride is a positive booking, but an unplaced record from 13 starts at this track and distance is a major knock.

Was close to the speed but failed to quicken when sixth behind Kakuhen at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths at long odds. His start prior reads far better, going under by a neck to La La Ancestral, and Wataru Hirose has placed on him from limited rides. The maiden record tempers enthusiasm, but a return to that near miss would bring him into place calculations.

Tracked the speed and finished fifth behind El Mirage over 820m at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths at generous odds. She had earlier run fourth behind Gray Rule over the same trip, beaten just over three lengths after racing handy. Carries only 52kg and has three wins around 1400m, so she has a place chance if she holds her form over the longer race.
