Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 820
KISS UMAI (8) found plenty to score by 3.5 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Goes very well at this journey, boasting two wins from four starts and is a key runner. MIYABI ARC (7) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 820m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GRAND LEI HEART (2) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten one length. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. A SHIN REPNI (10) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four appearances this campaign, finishing 0.6 lengths away in third most recently over 820m at this track. Shapes as one to consider.

Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 12 at this track on March 18 over 820m, 2.75 len behind Love Me Tequila with 51kg at $9.60. The start before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 3rd of 12 at Himeji on March 5 over 800m, 3 len behind Clee carrying 51kg at $5.10. Strong winning hope.

Useful entire. Last start crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 12 at this track on March 18 over 820m, neck behind Love Me Tequila with 56kg at $2. The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 12 at Himeji on March 5 over 800m, nose behind Clee with 56kg at $7.80. Poised to win after a narrow defeat last time.
