Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 820
LEONARD STAR (1) recorded a strong maiden win over 800m at Himeji last time, getting there by 4 lengths. Nicely drawn on the fence and is a key runner. MEINER SPICA (8) was a winner over 800m at Himeji last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by 1.3 lengths. Can measure up again. RAPUNZEL MOON (10) returned from a break last start with an all-the-way win over 820m at this track, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Strong performer at this stage of the prep with three wins and zero minor placings from four appearances. Expected to feature. LUX MICHEL (5) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by a neck over 820m at this track. Can figure in the finish again.

Second-up. First-up after five months favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Himeji March 4 over 800m defeating Vip Nadja with 56kg at $2.60. Previously second-up 5th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on June 15 over 1200m, 13 len behind Zenkai Pyro with 57.0kg at $5.50. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.

Last start ran on from midfield and won by a head at this track March 13 over 820m defeating Five Reyna with 54kg at $8.60. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Himeji on February 24 over 800m, 2 len behind Key Of Heart carrying 54kg at $20.50. Can't recommend.

At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading 10th of 12 at this track on March 20 over 1230m, 15 len behind Stuka carrying 54kg at $81.70.

Will need plenty of improvement to feature.
