Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1700
SIENA MAX (5) recorded his maiden win three back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when second at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will play a major role. WAROTERU (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Wataru Hirose sticks and he cannot be underestimated. AZIMUT (3) debuted with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when second over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Tackling a more suitable race so he can return to the winners' list. EL GRAN GOLAZO (2) finished midfield on debut last time out, safely held. Better for that outing and is expected to run well.

At the latest run favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track September 12 over 1400m defeating Komori Boulder carrying 55kg at $2.20. The run before that 5th of 11 at this track on August 22 over 1400m, 6 len behind Crystal Pit carrying 55kg at $18.50. No reason he cannot build on that success.

Racing well recently. Most recently 2nd of 9 at this track on September 4 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Soshiji with 55kg at $2.40. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on August 20 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Ingre with 55kg at $5.60. Meets a small field and looks tough to beat.
