Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1870

KIICHI AUTUMN (1) finished fourth last start over 1700m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will be handy in the run and should prove hard to run down. A SHIN LICHT (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.5 lengths away in second over 1700m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. PRINCIPAL ACT (5) returns. Had come to the end of his prep in his final run when last sighted but his form earlier in the campaign stacks right up. Shoulders a solid record over this journey and rates among the main hopes. A SHIN AZALEA (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form again.

The race before that 3rd in a small field at this track on August 6 over 1870m, 10 len behind Sonic with 56kg at $3.70. Capable of a better run.
