Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400
JUWELIER (9) clung on well to finish second last start over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 1.5 lengths when resuming as favourite. Can go one better here. OTEMBAMUSUME (8) is back at the races for the first time since October 29. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Has switched to the Ikkoo Tanaka yard. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. CROWN GUSTAV (7) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in fourth over 1400m at Himeji. Worth including in this suitable contest. LUX ALM (11) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second two starts back then got the job done by 5 lengths as public elect last time out over 1400m at Himeji. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.

Second run back. First-up after four months crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 3rd of 11 at this track on March 12 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Minack Theatre with 56kg at $17.30. Previously second-up 4th of 8 at this track on September 19 over 1400m, 3 len behind Ask Vue Reve More carrying 56kg at $3.20. One of the top chances.

Filly back from a spell of five months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation second of 11 at Monbetsu October 29 over 1800m, a head behind Lai Lua Ke Kai carrying 55kg at $2. When resuming last campaign second of 15 at Niigata Dirt May 11 over 1800m, a nose behind Mahana with 53.0kg at $6.60. Should be right in the finish.
