Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
BLUE FLAME (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Sure to improve and can make it back-to-back wins. SHISHI (4) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1400m at this track but could only manage fourth, although only 2.5 lengths from the winner. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. YUNA PO (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only half a length. Likely improver with strong prospects. NORI WOOD TAIL (2) finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Worth plenty of thought.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 8 at Himeji on March 4 over 1500m, 10 len behind Allure Reve with 54kg at $4.90. Second-up 3rd of 12 at this track on March 18 over 1400m, 2 len behind Blue Flame with 54kg at $13.40. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.

Racing well. Last start crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 4th of 12 at this track on March 18 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Blue Flame carrying 54kg at $6.20. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Himeji on March 4 over 1500m, 5 len behind Allure Reve with 54kg at $55.10. Well drawn and looks a genuine hope.
