Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
KEY CLASSIC (10) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish third. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Best form puts him right in this. VIP PURE ACE (5) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. MORNINGTON LINE (2) finds it tough to get off the mark but has a littering of good run through his form. Worth including in this suitable contest. SMART COMMANDER (7) is open to sharp improvement second-up and is worth keeping safe.

Second-up. First-up after four months held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on August 20 over 1400m, long-neck behind Grand Themis with 58kg at $2.30. Previously second-up 4th of 11 at Himeji on February 7 over 1400m, 9 len behind Meisho Masakatsu carrying 56kg at $18.70. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
