Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400

ECORO KAISER (6) showed good pace and went on to score by 4 lengths when resuming last time out over 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. VIVE LA GALETTE (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 0.9 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m here. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the key runners. LORD SHAMAL (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1400m at this circuit, beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh. In the mix on best form. SUPER COOL (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this course, beaten 11 lengths into sixth. Better than recent efforts suggest and is worth another chance.
