Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1700
MADAM HAWK (5) went fast early and went on to score by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment, but she is worth serious consideration. DENTAL FLOSS (1) drifted back over 1870m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth. Expected to measure up. PLAISIR MINORU (7) defied his big price last time when beaten just half a length into second over 1870m at this track. Can threaten. TRIPLE THRILL (4) last raced on September 11 when sixth at this track over 1870m. Has ability and is a definite top three hope.

At the latest run second last of 8 at this track on September 25 over 1400m, 10 len behind Good Habits with 57kg at $61.70. The start before that second last of 8 at this track on September 11 over 1870m, 38 len behind Black Butler carrying 56kg at $23.40. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
