Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1230
SILENCE TIME (1) was ridden quietly from a good draw last start before closing nicely to get up for fifth over 1400m at Himeji. Winning chance who will be winding up strongly. TRINITY KNOT (5) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent effort a second at Himeji over 800m when he was beaten a neck. Right in this. SMART C'EST LA VIE (7) returns from a spell of four months and it is noteworthy that he has scored at his past two first-up appearances, last prep over 1400m at this track. Key runner. DON FUKURIN (2) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 800m at Himeji. One of the main contenders.
