Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
BHADRA (3) sets a high bar with an unbeaten 3-from-3 record at 1400m at Sonoda, including a 2L win last start and strong margins across varying conditions, so she rates on top. Progressive JOY D'OR (11) is the danger after a decisive 3L victory over 1400m here and a prior 20L romp, maintaining a perfect track-and-trip record. Solid claims for CHARMING NIGHT (10), who has won twice at this course and distance and was a sound 3rd in a 12-runner 1400m, suggesting he holds his form. Next best GOD'S FAVORITE (7), coming off a narrow 1400m win and consistent placings at the trip, but she may need to find a touch more to turn over the top pair; lean BHADRA (3) in a short verdict.

Second up and draws the rail after jumping from 4 last time. Latest run was 4th of 12 over 1400m at Sonoda on 23 Sep, beaten 7.01L at $6.50. Prior 1400m win here on 17 Jun was dominant (1st of 5). Inside barrier and proven at the trip give him a suitable set-up to improve.

Back to 1400m at Sonoda where both runs have been, so conditions are familiar. Last start he was 5th of 7 here over 1400m on 9 Oct, beaten 8.31L at $71.00 after an 8th of 12 over the same trip on 23 Sep when beaten 12.91L at $201.00. The slight improvement last time and sticking to the same set-up give him something to build on.

Third up and staying at 1400m after finishing 6th of 7 over this track and trip on 9 Oct, beaten 9.06L at $11.00 on firm. Small field there, so this bigger line-up may offer a different shape. Draws on experience at Sonoda and keeps Takanori Nagai. Needs to lift on that latest effort but the set-up is familiar.

Third up and already a 1400m winner at Sonoda, scoring by 0.75L on 30 Sep on soft at $1.28. That win came in a small field of 6, but he handled the trip and track well. With Wataru Hirose aboard again and sticking to 1400m, Hiro Shige Wonder brings the right platform for another solid showing.
