Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 820
TECHNO EXPRESS (7) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success as public elect over this track and trip two weeks ago, getting home with ease. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. UKRAINE EYES (5) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the key runners. YASHIRO SMILEY (9) turned in a fine effort to score over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. KURINO NINA (12) did a great job to score over this course and distance last start in a far better effort. No reason she cannot salute again.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the pace when 2nd of 11 at this track on August 22 over 820m, neck behind Logo Moco carrying 55kg at $14.80. The run before that won by a nose at this track July 25 over 820m defeating Mon Shuttle with 55kg at $2.60. Worth thought after getting close last time.

Recent form sound. Most recently favourite; won by a neck at this track August 21 over 820m defeating Baikal carrying 55kg at $2.70. The start before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 12 at this track on July 30 over 820m, 1.3 len behind Moulin Chatain with 55kg at $2.50. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.
