Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
MINANO HALAND (7) maps as the most appealing third-up after an 8th of 12 at Sonoda on 23 Sep over 1400m, beaten 14.1L carrying 55kg, and should strip fitter at the same trip. GAMILA'S BUIN (6) brings consistent recent 1400m efforts, finishing 5th of 6 at Sonoda on 30 Sep and 5th of 5 on 16 Sep, both at 56kg, and can hold a spot from barrier 6. DARAN DADAN (4) is third-up and drops back to 1400m after a 7th of 11 over 1230m on 1 Oct, with an improved barrier. KISEKINO ICHIMAI (3) draws inside and was 10th of 12 here at 1400m on 23 Sep, and needs to lift but benefits from a significant barrier improvement from 10 to 3.

Draws the inside after finishing 12th of 12 at Sonoda over 1400m on 23 Sep, beaten 21.2L at $201 on firm going. Earlier runs at 820m and 1230m also saw wide margins, with SPs of $41 and $201, so the low draw is the main change to his setup. Needs to lift on exposed form but the rail draw could help him find a more economical run.

Second-up from a debut 4th of 5 at Sonoda over 820m 11 days ago, beaten 23.5L at $11, and drops to 52kg. She draws barrier 2 and stretches to 1400m, which offers a very different test; needs to improve but the set-up changes give her a chance to progress.

Draws barrier 3 and returns to 55kg after carrying lighter in recent starts, coming off a 10th of 12 over 1400m at Sonoda on 23 Sep (16.1L, SP 151) behind Cherry Squall. Prior runs included a 6th of 6 over 1400m (44.31L, SP 91) and 12th of 12 over 1230m (39.85L), so she’ll be looking to make use of the gate to find a kinder run. Needs to lift on exposed figures but a soft map from this draw can help her show more.

Third-up and back to 53kg, he was 7th of 11 at Sonoda over 1230m on 1 Oct, beaten 19.55L at $151 after jumping from barrier 6. Prior run he finished 8th of 11 over 820m on 25 Sep, beaten 15.5L at $51; draws barrier 4 here and the slight rise in trip (170m) may help his settling.

Placed 3rd two back at Sonoda over 1230m on Soft, beaten 4L at $29 behind Princess Road, showing his best run this prep. He was well back last start over the same trip when 9th/11, but draws barrier 5 here and returns on an 11-day turnaround. Needs to recapture that penultimate effort to figure.

Finds a similar 1400m setup after finishing 5th of 6 at Sonoda on 30 Sep, beaten 17.25L on soft at $151 with 56kg. Shingo Ooyama takes over from barrier 6 (up one), and the colt stays at 56kg twelve days on; needs to lift on exposed figures.

Third-up after two Sonoda runs, most recently 8th of 12 over 1400m on 23 Sep when beaten 14.1L (55kg, SP 201) behind Cherry Squall. Prior debut was 6th of 6 over 820m on heavy, 8.15L off Peridot (SP 81). Back to barrier 7 and up to 55kg again; needs to lift but gains experience and fitness at this stage of her prep.
