Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
FEEL HAPPINESS (3) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work, working home in good style at the most recent outing to finish second over 1400m at this track. Fitter and should be in the finish again. ONE OF US (4) was third at this track two starts ago then finished 1.3 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at this track. Key runner who can get off the mark. INJECTION (2) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1400m at this track five months ago. Should be prominent from the low draw and should give backers a great sight. LUCKY PROOF (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.

Resuming after a break of four-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation eighth of 12 at this track June 5 over 1400m, 11 len behind Lady Pegasus with 57kg at $34.80. When resuming last campaign ran last of 10 at Himeji January 21 over 1400m, 14 len behind Meisho Shoot with 56kg at $8. Doesn't appeal.
