Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1870
GRAND COSME (3) scored by 2 lengths last start at this track over this distance. Has found the frame in all three starts at this journey, including two wins. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. YAMATO FAITH (6) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four runs this preparation, finishing third most recently over 1870m at this track. Great chance to take this out. ENA ANIMAL (5) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1870m last time, finishing sixth. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Can feature. T K ULU (4) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 1400m here last time. Was outdashed but got going late and the extra ground looks a big plus. Can sneak into the finish.

Recent form sound. Most recently raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at this track on September 12 over 1870m, 2.75 len behind Grand Cosme with 57kg at $7.80. The run before that 4th of 7 at this track on August 15 over 1870m, 2.25 len behind Wonder Glee carrying 57kg at $6.40. Working up to a win. Worth following.
