Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
KOKO KYUNKYUN (7) was an emphatic winner last time over 1400m at this track with today's rider Tomohiro Yoshimura engaged. Has a high cruising speed. The testing material. AZIMUT (6) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 820m at this track four weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. MILD EVENING (9) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 820m at this track six weeks ago. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. SIENA SKY (8) pushed forward on debut last start and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track. Do not underestimate.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, eased back early on second last in a small field at this track on May 29 over 820m, 17 len behind Kerokero Nekochan with 55kg at $52.10. Last start second last of 11 at this track on July 4 over 1400m, 52 len behind Koko Kyunkyun with 55kg at $207.90. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Second-up 9th of 11 at this track on July 4 over 1400m, 22 len behind Koko Kyunkyun carrying 55kg at $405.40. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, 2nd of 7 at this track on July 10 over 820m, 6 len behind Southern Warrior with 54kg at $64.90. Not likely to find this quite as easy as the debut outing.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; won by 5 len at this track July 4 over 1400m defeating Pazu with 54kg at $1.30. The start before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 30 len at this track June 11 over 1400m defeating Kerokero Nekochan with 54kg at $3.90. One of the chief contenders.
