Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1700

MUKIZU (2) showed good speed over 1500m at Himeji and led throughout to score. Gets some weight relief this time and expected to feature. BELLAGIO UMAMUSUKO (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Himeji over 2000m after being prominent from the outset. Should be prominent from the outset. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KING LEGEND (4) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1400m at Himeji. Change of jockey to Tomohiro Yoshimura who has a strong record when aboard, including six wins. Certainly one to consider. BLUE ARROW (5) didn't do a bad job when third last start over 2000m at Himeji. That followed a win at Himeji the start prior. Should be thereabouts.

At the latest run 10th of 12 at Himeji on March 6 over 1400m, 8 len behind A Shin Temujin carrying 56kg at $18.50. The run before that 4th of 12 at Himeji on February 11 over 1500m, 4 len behind Meisho Shimato carrying 57kg at $2.90. Finds a few better today. Can't recommend.

Second-up. First-up after five months won by 2.5 len at Himeji February 24 over 1500m defeating Ford Tesoro with 56kg at $3.60. Previously second-up 8th of 12 at this track on May 24 over 1400m, 6 len behind T O Turner with 56kg at $51.90. Can go on with it. Improver with winning prospects.

Useful type. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start 2nd of 10 at Himeji on February 19 over 2000m, 2 len behind Black Butler carrying 57kg at $3.80. Before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 9 at Himeji on January 22 over 1400m, neck behind Copano Miami carrying 57kg at $1.90. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Useful type. Last start ran on from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Himeji on March 6 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind A Shin Temujin carrying 56kg at $5.50. The race before that raced on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 10 at this track on January 3 over 1870m, 6 len behind Inversion carrying 54kg at $20.60. Worth thought after getting close last time.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start 3rd of 10 at Himeji on February 19 over 2000m, 2 len behind Black Butler carrying 58kg at $17.50. Before that won by 1.3 len at Himeji January 28 over 1800m defeating Kakiemon carrying 57kg at $13.90. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.
