Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 820
Limited exposed form, so the draw could matter over 820m at Sonoda. From barrier 1, SCINTILLANTE (1) maps to use the rail and gets 55kg, while SIENA DAHLIA (2) draws alongside with 56kg and should be prominent early. Lightly weighted MISS POMAIKAI (4) (52kg) can camp just behind them from barrier 4, and COMET TAIL (5) is another on-speed hope from barrier 5 with 55kg.

Barrier 4 gives Miss Pomaikai a straightforward map for Kou Takahashi aboard at 52kg. The two-year-old filly debuts for Ryouhei Hori and profiles as a neatly weighted newcomer. A tidy draw and light impost present a reasonable starting platform.

Drawn barrier 5 with Tomohiro Yoshimura booked, Comet Tail lines up for Mitsuaki Tamagaki at 55kg. As a 2YO mare by Dunkirk out of Eikai Victoria, she presents a straightforward debut profile from a good gate. A tidy map and senior rider could help her run to her setup.
