Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 820
BABE (3) resumes in a similar race to her last run three-and-a-half months ago when sixth, beaten 4 lengths. Won two in a row prior. Likely to make her presence felt fresh. ANGEL MOMO (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 820m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. YAMAICHI LOVELY (9) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 820m. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SHAN DIAN (6) was sixth in a 1400m contest at this track last time out. Has top-three prospects.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on September 19 over 820m, 5 len behind Sawayaka Sawachan with 55kg at $2.90. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at this track on August 29 over 820m, 3.5 len behind Meisho Bairan with 54kg at $6.60. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
