Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
CHERRY RUSSIAN (5) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage and can take this out. MELODY MAKER (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and can find winning ways. MEINER ALAUDA (6) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth over 1400m at this track. Form here at the trip is sound and has claims on best figures. LEO KEY (8) last raced on May 16 when sixth at this track over 1400m. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 7 at this track on May 16 over 1400m, 9 len behind Windy Palace with 55kg at $14. Before that second last of 13 at Hanshin Dirt on March 16 over 1800m, 17 len behind Smart Lia Fail carrying 56.0kg at $77.40. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
