Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1230
VATRENI (1) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming from a spell last start over 2890m at Niigata only to fade late and finish eighth. Sure to be prominent from the outset. Can feature. FUKUNO YILDIZ (3) was safely held when 11th last time out over 1400m at Kasamatsu after a win there at the previous outing. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. PRINCESS KAREN (2) finished second here two runs back but was less effective last time over 820m at this track, finishing back in tenth. Well placed and can give this a shake. SILENCE TIME (8) has enjoyed a let-up of six-and-a-half weeks since being well held last time in eighth over 1400m at this track. F Komaki has a good strike rate aboard this five-year-old entire so a better showing is expected.

Second-up. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after two months sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 14 at Niigata on May 3 over 2890m, 5.5 len behind Dura Mondo with 60.0kg at $3.40. Previously second-up 15th of 18 at Kyoto in the G3 Hankyu Hai on February 22 over 1400m, 6 len behind Kangchenjunga with 57.0kg at $114.70. Worth another chance.
