Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1700
OKEMARU (8) is unbeaten after seven straight wins, the latest over 1870m at this track. Unbeaten in four starts fresh and will go close again. RAPIDO FIORE (5) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1900m at Kochi, getting home by one length. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is good enough to take this out. IZA GREEN LIGHT (7) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by a neck over 1400m. Among the main chances. TAMBA BUSHO (3) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with half a length to spare over 1400m at this track. Can sneak into the finish again.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 32-day let-up. Most recently favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Kochi September 7 over 1900m defeating Kimino Heart carrying 57kg at $1.40. The start before that favourite; scored a big 6 len win at Kochi August 3 over 1900m defeating Jugemoon carrying 57kg at $25.70. Definite chance.

Form hard to fault. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at this track September 18 over 1400m defeating Pink Margarita carrying 56kg at $3.20. The start before that 4th of 10 at this track on September 3 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Wings All with 57kg at $16.70. Hard to beat again.
