Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
ENHORABUENA (6) went forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 1400m at this track when fresh from a break. Looks well placed so expect another bold performance. DIA GRAF (1) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race. MIGRATEUR (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was handy all the way over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. VINA CAN THO (7) was beaten 34 lengths into fifth in a 1400m contest at this track three weeks ago. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 9 at this track on June 13 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Meisho Shimato with 57kg at $8. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on May 30 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Lightning Blue with 57kg at $8.40. Put the writing on the wall last time.
