Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
CONJUNCTION (4) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. HIIRAGI (7) finds it hard to win but was in the finish last time when beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1400m at this track. Toyokazu Tano who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Sure to run well. OBSIDIANA (10) is back after a break of nine weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished 11th over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. JERICOACOARA (9) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by half a length last time over 1400m at this track. Has never missed the frame at this venue, including two wins. Respect.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up favourite; came from midfield and won by a neck at this track August 28 over 1400m defeating Dazzling Ice carrying 55kg at $10.60. Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on September 17 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Ryuno Tsukai with 55kg at $2. Capable of a better showing. Respect.
