Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
MEISHO KOROGI (7) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless win at this track last time. Sure to measure up again. A K RETURN (1) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score last time out over 820m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. VIE HOMMAGE (5) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second here when he worked home well. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. COCOLI CALEDONIAN (6) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish seventh in a disappointing performance. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well.

Second-up. First-up after four months favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 5 len win at this track August 29 over 1400m defeating Cho Kansei carrying 55kg at $1.80. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at this track on May 8 over 1400m, 9 len behind Tomb Raider carrying 53kg at $10.70. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.
