Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
BLITZEN CITY (1) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by 3 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. FUSENO AURORA (8) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1400m, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Good record at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from nine starts and should prove tough to beat. REINA BONITA (2) returns after a spell of three months. Looking to emulate her win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Has found the right race and is worth including. ZEALOUS EFFORTS (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1230m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3 len at this track September 17 over 1400m defeating Solis Lux carrying 57kg at $1.50. Before that 2nd of 10 at this track on September 3 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Wings All with 57kg at $4.10. No reason he cannot salute again.

Resuming after a three months break. Not seen since winning by 2.5 len this track July 10 over 1400m defeating Blitzen City carrying 55kg at $3.60. At her first start won by 0.5 len this track July 17 2024 over 820m defeating Mysterious Lady with 54kg at $7.70. Certainly one to consider.

Last start 9th of 12 at this track on September 26 over 820m, 9 len behind Lune D'amour with 57kg at $146. The race before that ran last of 9 at this track on September 4 over 820m, 20 len behind Into The Flow carrying 57kg at $198. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 8 at this track on September 18 over 1400m, 3 len behind Iza Green Light with 55kg at $2.60. Before that favourite; came from midfield and won by a nose at this track August 28 over 1400m defeating Pink Margarita with 55kg at $7.30. Will prove tough to stave off.
