Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
VIRYA (6) scored by 30 lengths last start at this track over this distance. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from three starts. Right in this. KIKUNO RTA (4) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by one length over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including eight wins. Toyokazu Tano who has scored on her three times retains the mount. Sure to run well. ERIKA VALIENTE (12) is fresh from a spell of five months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Tokyo over 1600m. In a different yard now. Well-placed and is among the chances. HUSTLER (9) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was fourth over 1400m at Himeji. Strips fitter and can improve.

Filly back from a spell of five months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation tenth of 12 at Kawasaki November 13 over 1400m, 8 len behind Kitano Passion carrying 54kg at $36.20. Previously first up; second of 16 at Tokyo June 22 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Lien Du Miracle carrying 55.0kg at $7.20. Could prove too smart for these.
