Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 820
Hard to split a field of debutants, but A SHIN ZOOM IN (5) profiles best on pedigree for a sharp 820m dash, being by a proven speed influence and drawn outside to find clear air. PINO PUKA (4) appeals as a danger with sprint-bred lines suited to this trip. TORIO KACHIDOKI (3) also has a speed-oriented sire and maps to be handy from barrier 3. HOKUZAN ORO (2) is in the mix from a soft draw and similar sprint pedigree. Narrow edge to A SHIN ZOOM IN (5) in a low-exposure sprint.

First starter by Epoca D'Oro out of Hokuzan Rouge for Tadaaki Hashimoto, debuting over the sharp 820m. Tomohiro Yoshimura takes the ride. A low field size could help a clean introduction, and the sprint trip should give a clear read on early speed.

First starter 2yo mare for Toshifumi Ooyama, with Souta Hijikata booked. Sprinting 820m looks a sharp introduction. By Fine Needle out of Elegant Gold, a pedigree that suggests speed. Typical debut uncertainties, but the set-up is straightforward enough for Pino Puka to show ability.

Well-bred 2YO colt by Shanghai Bobby out of A Shin Cerrado debuts over 820m at Sonoda in a small field of five. Sakito Yamamoto rides for Tadaaki Hashimoto, which looks a tidy set-up for a sharp dash. First starter but the sprint trip and compact line-up should give him every chance to show speed.
