Sky Accel to take charge ahead of Lily Park at a good tempo. HIMARIN (5) brings the most persuasive recent profile, having finished hard for fourth over 1230m at Sonoda last start after looking a long way from the winner, and that followed a half-length second to Quattro Fortuna. The extra ground looks the right way to test that finishing pattern. SABUNO RAINBOW (4) is harder to read after failing to finish last time, but her prior 1230m run was sound enough and the 52kg gives her a genuine reset. SKY ACCEL (7) should provide the speed and was only beaten just under three lengths after leading here last start, though she has to see it out better than she did two back. LILY PARK (6) can use her on-pace style to stay in the race, while WAKINO FLASH (3) has the track-and-trip record to improve into the placings despite plain recent margins.

SUN ELSA
SATOSHI MATSUURA 8YO BROWN MARE 54.0KG Kei Morooka Has finished fourth at Sonoda at her past two starts, but the margins tell the story, beaten ten lengths by Lingus Warrior last time after settling rearward and eight and a half lengths behind Shine Chouchou the run prior. She is proven over this track and distance, with two wins and 19 places from 56 attempts, yet the current finishing effort leaves her needing a clear lift to trouble the main chances. |

ULTIMAN
AKIHIRO INADA 7YO CHESTNUT HORSE 53.0KG Battled on into fifth behind Lingus Warrior at Sonoda last start, but was still beaten over 10 lengths at big odds. Two back he sat close enough before dropping out to finish second last behind Smart Rave, again well beaten and unwanted in the market. His long record includes three wins at this track and distance, though recent form says he must find sharper late strength. |

WAKINO FLASH
YOSHIHIRO IIDA 8YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Yoshiyuki Wakiyama Recent efforts have been well below his best, with an eighth behind Smart Rave last start after conceding a huge start and never entering the race. He was also beaten over 12 lengths by Flame Force two runs ago when big odds. The counterpoint is a strong Sonoda 1400m record, with six wins and six places from 33 starts, so he can improve into minor money if he travels closer. |

SABUNO RAINBOW
TARO NAGASHIMA 5YO CHESTNUT MARE 52.0KG Needs to be assessed on a rebound after failing to finish behind Offshore Girl at Sonoda last start, with no further detail supplied. Her previous sixth over 1230m was more encouraging, beaten four lengths by Quattro Fortuna after racing close enough but lacking a turn of foot. She meets this with 52kg and had been beaten by Himarin recently, yet still has the profile to be a live winning hope if she puts the latest run behind her. |

HIMARIN
Jun Fujikawa 6YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Finished hard for fourth behind Venice Queen over 1230m at Sonoda last start, beaten two and a half lengths after looking unlikely for much of the race. That backed up a strong second to Quattro Fortuna at big odds, beaten only half a length. She has also had Sabuno Rainbow covered recently and owns one win and eight places from 20 goes at this course and distance, making the rise to 1400m a suitable platform. |

LILY PARK
NORIHIKO HIRAMATSU 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Placed behind Fukuno Fear None at Sonoda last start, though the beaten margin of over 11 lengths keeps that third in perspective. Her previous fourth behind Frevo was better for this race, beaten four and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. She rises from 51kg carried to 55kg, but her on-pace pattern gives her a practical map to hold a place chance again. |

SKY ACCEL
IKKOO TANAKA 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Shigeto Saeki Showed her natural speed when leading and finishing fourth behind Re Go To at Sonoda last start, beaten just under three lengths. The concern is the run prior, when she was well in front before dropping out behind Super Cool as one near the top of betting. Her record with Daichi Matsuki is a positive, with two wins and three places from ten starts, and she can take catching if she controls the race. |

DIVIN CADEAU
MICHIO TANAKA 4YO BROWN HORSE 57.0KG Noboru Shudo Finished last behind Baby Vagy at Sonoda last start, beaten over 16 lengths, and was unwanted in the market. The previous run was no better, again last behind Shine Chouchou and well beaten after giving away a big start. He has won with Tomohiro Sasada before, but the current form is too poor to lean on and a major turnaround is required. |

HARUSAME
NAOYUKI MIYAKE 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Champions Farm Co. Ltd. Settled rearward and finished fifth behind Fukuno Fear None at Sonoda last start, beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. She had been second last to Iromegane the run before, well beaten by 21 lengths after coming under pressure late. A previous win at this track and distance is a small positive, but her recent margins leave her needing far more impact. |
