Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
Limited exposed data suggests a neutral setup, so lean to the lightly weighted 3yos. SACRED CITY (5) appeals at 55kg and a suitable 1400m profile on pedigree, with ISABELLA SUNRISE (1) a danger from the inside draw carrying 52kg. MARUKA BONHEUR (7) looks a solid hope at the trip with 57kg, while CHO DANTOTSU (10) stays in the mix despite 55kg from a wide gate. Narrow edge to SACRED CITY (5).

Three-year-old filly for Hironori Yamamoto with Fuuma Nanbu booked. Setup is a 1400m Sonoda race, which suits many lightly raced types, but there’s little disclosed form to gauge. Kept safe given the age profile and stable/jockey pairing.

Limited disclosed form for Smart Kingdom, but the booking of Kanta Inoue for Takao Kuroda offers a settled partnership. Kept to 1400m at Sonoda in a 10-runner field, the setup looks straightforward. Respect without strong cues either way from the carded details.
