Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
BHADRA (7) sets the standard second-up at 1400m after dominant Sonoda wins, including a 7L margin over this trip on 26 Aug and a 1.75L SOFT win on 17 Sep; holds a recent form edge over MO MO SHINE (6). MARU THUNDER (3) is second-up from a debut 1400m Sonoda win by 5L at $1.1 and draws better, so looks the main danger. ROCK ON D'ORO (5) impressed last start winning the 1230m at Sonoda and was a 1400m runner-up prior, keeping him in the mix. PRINCESS ROAD (1) draws barrier 1 and comes off a 3.5L 1230m win here, but must prove herself at 1400m.

Draws barrier 2 and returns to 1230m after a 5th of 12 at Sonoda over 1230m on SOFT 26 days ago, starting $1.85 and beaten 10.4L by Nippon Seira. Earlier Sonoda runs include a 3rd of 11 over 1400m (GOOD) and a 4th of 10 over 1400m (HEAVY), both at 55kg. Maps to get a softer run from the low draw and can be competitive with that prior placing at the track-distance (3:0-0-1).

Debuted at Sonoda over 1400m 27 days ago and justified 1.1 favouritism, scoring by 5L under 56kg from barrier 7. He sticks to the same trip second up, draws better in barrier 3, and retains Wataru Hirose who is 1-from-1 on him. That dominant fresh win and favourable gate give him a strong platform to progress.

Fourth-up and back from a solid 2nd over 1230m at Sonoda 19 days ago, beaten 3L by Mo Mo Shine at $4.2 carrying 55kg. She’d previously broken through over 820m here by 1.75L at $1.13, and draws barrier 4 again with Tatsuya Takemura retaining the ride. Consistent locally this season (3:1-1-0) and well placed to run another honest race.

Third-up and coming off a dominant Sonoda 1230m win 26 days ago, scoring as a $1.36 favourite on soft with 56kg from barrier 8 over Kojun Niko Shin. He also has a 2nd at Sonoda 1400m on debut behind Charming Night, and retains Tomohiro Yoshimura who is 2:1-1 on him; drawn barrier 5 and holding solid track stats, he looks a reliable contender.

Progressive mare with a Sonoda win two back over 1230m on soft, scoring by 3L at $1.5, and overall track record reads a solid (4:1-2-1). She returns after 19 days and rises 170m in trip, with a favourable barrier 6 given her 4–6 alley record (2:1-1-0). Consistent this season (3:1-1-1) and profiles to hold form at this track and distance.

Unbeaten at Sonoda and at 1400m (2:2-0-0), she returned 13 days ago to score over 1400m on SOFT by 1.75L at $1.01, beating God’s Favorite with 55kg. Komaki Futoshi, who partnered her to a 7L 1400m win here two starts back at $1.03, reunites as she rises to 56kg from barrier 7. Holding that local record and setup, she profiles strongly again.

Returned to Sonoda 1400m third up and bolted in by 4L on firm ground at $1.01, with Tomohiro Sasada aboard at 56kg. That followed a debut 2nd over the same track/trip behind Cool Sky, and he’s now 1:1-0-0 this season with strong track/distance stats (2:1-1-0). Stays at 56kg from barrier 8 and looks well set to hold form.
