Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
Z SILVIA (8) Was all too good winning by 1 1/2L last start at the track and suited at this trip historically. Jockey Komaki Futoshi has been successful previously. Going well this preparation. One of the major hopes. DIA GRAF (3) Finished on top by 3/4L last start at the track. Always seems to find the line well. Racing consistently this preparation. One of the major players. WIN AUBE (6) Winner by 3/4L last run at this track. Undefeated last 2 runs. Expecting to settle positively. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is in form. Good prospects. KING LEGEND (2) First run back from spell of 38 weeks. Narrowly denied a win last run at Himeji and will try to take advantage of the draw. Contender in this event.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing sixth in an A1A2 at this track, beaten just over six lengths behind Z Silvia when unwanted in the market. The start prior was much weaker, finishing last and beaten over 19 lengths. His track-and-distance record is strong, but he must show far more current spark to trouble the main hopes.

Returns from an eight-month break after ending the last campaign with a narrow second at Himeji, beaten a neck by Hinode Teio in A1A2 company. His previous run was only fair over 1800m, but he has 16 career wins and an excellent record with Wataru Hirose. The 1400m query tempers the win case, yet he has enough substance to be a genuine place hope.

Scored at this track last start in B1 grade, beating Agnes Shu by just under a length as a well-supported favourite and finding enough late. That followed a third here when he worked home into the frame. His record over this course and distance is highly reliable, and his recent consistency gives him a clear winning chance again.

Recent form has tailed off, with a tenth at this track last start in COND grade over 1230m, beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward and making no late impression. The start prior was also plain when seventh and beaten just over nine lengths. His track-and-distance record is respectable, but the current form line is hard to trust.

Backs up after one week, but the recent evidence is difficult to support. He was ninth at this track last start, beaten over 19 lengths at big odds after settling handy, and the run prior was another distant last. His distance record is sound and the set-up is kinder, but he has to rediscover form quickly.

Returns from a six-week let-up in winning form after consecutive B1 victories at this track, most recently beating Love Me Mary by just under a length. He had also beaten the same runner by half a length the start prior, so the pattern is genuine. With Tomohiro Yoshimura aboard, he profiles as a solid place chance against tougher opposition.

Has been consistent this campaign, finishing third at this track last start when beaten just over six lengths after lacking the turn of foot to seriously challenge. Her start prior was better, running second in A2 grade and beaten two lengths after finishing off well. With a perfect track-and-distance placing record, she appeals as a reliable minor chance.

Returns from a five-week let-up after winning an A1A2 at this track by a length and a half as the odds-on favourite, beating Daijobanai with a determined finish. Her course-and-distance record is outstanding, and she has also won twelve from 17 with F Komaki aboard. Back to A2 level, she brings the strongest overall case and is the runner to beat.

Has been fair without threatening, finishing fifth at this track last start in A2 grade and beaten just over eight lengths when unwanted in the market. Two back he filled the same position, beaten seven lengths behind Rapido Fiore. He has won at this track and distance, but his latest figures leave him chasing stronger claims.
