Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
DIGNA (1) returns from a layoff of eight months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Has found a suitable race. T O PERSONAL (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. LET'S GO ASK (5) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. CONJUNCTION (3) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten a head. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of eight months. Finished off last preparation fourth of 9 at this track December 30 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Justin Malibu carrying 54kg at $1.80. When resuming last campaign second of 10 at this track October 24 over 1400m, a nose behind Suehiro Inazuma carrying 55kg at $1.10. Could prove too smart for these.

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track on August 8 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Sotenno Hikari carrying 52kg at $3.20. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at this track on July 10 over 1400m, 13 len behind Satin Bodice carrying 55kg at $4.50. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.

At the latest run came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on August 8 over 1400m, 3 len behind Sotenno Hikari with 55kg at $12.10. The race before that settled back and ran on when 6th of 10 at this track on July 18 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind T K Vogue carrying 55kg at $9.10. Might just find this lot a bit smart.
