Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
LAEVATEINN (8) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run around here. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Winnable race. FUDO MYO O (1) Placed 2nd last run at this track and has the ideal draw. Must be considered. SIENA QUEEN (5) Honest race when 2nd last run around here. Should race on the speed. Komaki Futoshi is a key engagement. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. HAPPY MONSTER (2) Looked good when 3rd last start around here and can find a nice position from the draw. Could work into the placings.

Continues to race consistently, finishing second at this track last start when beaten a length by Cassis Orange after being near the top of betting. The start prior was another placing in C3 company, albeit beaten four and a half lengths by Aratama Oso. The concern is that he remains winless from 25 starts and has four placings from 14 tries around 1400m, so he appeals more as a solid place hope than a confident winning play.

Loomed and fought on for third at this track last start, beaten three lengths by T O Robinson as one of the better-fancied runners, but he was never quite a winning threat. His sixth behind Meisho Rise the run prior was honest without being sharp. The stronger case is the return of Wataru Hirose, who has two wins and four places from ten rides on him, keeping him firmly in the minor-money mix.

Found little when fifth of six over 1700m at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Derma Saturn after sitting close enough to make an impact. She had also only worked home fairly when fourth to Earth Grazer before that. The return to 1400m offers some place history, with seven placings from 17 attempts, but her recent finishing effort leaves her with plenty to find.

Ran second at this track last start, but the margin tells the story, with Kakuhen beating her eight lengths in C3 company. Her previous sixth behind Warera Hoshinoko was also plain after travelling in touch and only working home fairly. The veteran does have a deep record at this track and distance, but current form leaves her looking more like a place hope at best if others underperform.

Resumed with an excellent second at this track, beaten just under a length by A Chan despite being unwanted in the market, and that effort reads strongly given she beat Laevateinn in the same race. She is proven at 1400m with six wins and twelve places from 33 starts at this track and distance, while F Komaki has won on her before. Second-up fitness can only help, and her overall profile makes her the one to beat.

Closed in well enough when fourth over 1230m at this track last start, beaten a length and a half by Balmy Pearl at an each-way price, and his previous fifth to Wispy Snow was also within two and a half lengths. The rise back to 1400m suits his record, with five wins and ten places at this track and distance, and weight relief adds to the appeal. He has the right substance to be in the winning argument.

Worked home evenly for third at this track last start, but the beaten margin of nine and a half lengths behind All The Rage tempers the strength of that placing. Her previous fourth in C2C3 company over 1230m was more competitive, beaten two lengths at big odds. She has won at this track and distance and is reliable enough to include for exotics, but the winning edge still has to be sharper.

Improved sharply third-up when third at this track last start, beaten just over a length by A Chan and finishing close behind Siena Queen. That was a strong rebound from a well-held last as favourite behind Cool Brave, where he dropped right out late. His overall record is still efficient, with three wins from nine starts and a win and a place from three at this track and distance, making him a live danger.

Was well beaten over 11 lengths when seventh at this track last start, settling a long way back and making no impression behind Become King. The start prior was another heavy defeat, beaten over 12 lengths by Miko Castana at generous odds. Her track-and-distance record shows past capability, but current figures are well short of what is required to make an impact here.

Has been placing regularly, but the latest third over 1230m at this track was beaten just over nine lengths by Exsperion after having every chance. The run prior was stronger, finishing third and beaten just over a length by Smart Izanami after being run down late. Weight relief and a proven 1400m record are positives, yet he still profiles as an outside place chance rather than a clear winning threat.
