Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
AOINO IKORO (9) sets the standard after a 2nd at Sonoda over 1400m on 23 Sep, beaten 3.5L at 56kg from barrier 6, and stays at the trip. BELLE DEESSE (6) is a danger with consistent Sonoda 1400m figures, including a close 4th over this course on 17 Sep, 2.55L off the winner. UMESUISHO (10) is progressive and on a short turnaround after a 5th of 12 over 1400m here on 23 Sep from a wide gate with 51kg. CIVIC TARUMAIN (2) brings solid sprint form and was 3rd over 1230m on 11 Sep, 3.75L away, and now steps back to 1400m from barrier 2.

Third-up and drawn the inside, he backs up on a short 10-day turnaround after finishing 10th of 11 over 820m at Sonoda, beaten 20.5L at $151. That was a sharp drop from his debut 1400m run (5th of 6, 42.25L at $22), and the 580m rise in trip here looks a more suitable set-up from barrier 1, with 56kg unchanged.

Fourth-up and holding form at Sonoda, he comes off a 3rd of 7 over 1230m on 11 Sep, beaten 3.75L by Mo Mo Shine at $6.5 with 56kg. Prior run was a solid 2nd of 6 over 820m on 21 Aug, 1.75L behind Siena Grace at $4.2, and he now draws barrier 2 after coming from wider last time. Maps to get a soft run and looks ready to give another honest account at 56kg.

Second-up after a debut at Sonoda over 1400m where she finished 7th of 7, beaten 31.3L at $101 carrying 55kg on Good. Draws better today moving from barrier 6 to 4, and the experience should help as she looks to improve.

Third-up and back slightly in trip, he draws barrier 5 after a midfield gate last start. His latest run at Sonoda over 1230m on soft saw him finish 7th of 7, 37.6L from Angelus Ring at $61, having previously been 4th of 7 over 820m on firm at $41. Needs to recapture that debut effort to be competitive at 56kg.

Proven at Sonoda 1400m with a consistent record (track/distance 4:0-3-0) and multiple seconds earlier this prep. Last start she was 4th of 9 over 1400m here on soft, beaten 2.55L by Bhadra at $67 with 55kg. Drawn barrier 6 again and partnered by Wataru Hirose, she maps as a reliable place chance.

Fourth-up and on a 12-day turnaround, he did best two starts ago at Sonoda when 6th of 12 over 1400m (56kg, SP 51) behind Cherry Squall. His peak this prep remains a 3rd over this track and trip first-up (6 runners, SP 41), and he maps similarly from barrier 7 after drawing the inside last time. Needs to find a touch more late, but the track-and-trip placing offers some hope at 56kg.

Fourth-up and back to Sonoda with 55kg, she was a narrow 2nd over 820m on debut at 9.5 SP, beaten 0.1L by Brave Ten, before finishing 5th next start and then 4th of 5 when stretching to 1400m. The return to a mid-gate after drawing 5 last time is fine, and her early 820m effort suggests she can be competitive if the drop back in trip materialises.

Raised his game 12 days ago at Sonoda, finishing 2nd of 12 over 1400m (56kg) on firm in 1:32.9, sent off $8.5 behind Cherry Squall. That was a clear step forward from his prior 1230m run on soft, and he sticks to a suitable trip from barrier 9. Competitive again if he holds that recent improvement.

Fourth-up and on a 12-day turnaround, she stuck on for 5th of 12 at Sonoda over 1400m (51kg, SP 22) from a wide gate, beaten 12L by Cherry Squall. Prior to that she was 5th of 6 over 1230m on soft (52kg, SP 4.4), 4.11L off Princess Road; the slight barrier improvement today could help her settle. Scope to be more competitive with another run at the trip under 51kg.
