Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
GOOD HABITS (3) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 2.5 lengths win over 1400m at this track to make it three in a row. Toyokazu Tano has been the pilot at her last three wins. Major player once again. BELLAGIO UMAMUSUKO (1) returned from a break of three months and finished third over this course and distance last time out. Fitter and sure to run well. FLYER TRUE (5) ran a strong race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1230m at this track. A repeat of the latest can see him take a hand in the finish. MILD PRIME (2) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when eighth here over 1400m. Well placed and should be thereabouts.

On a three run winning streak. Last start favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.5 len at this track September 25 over 1400m defeating Mami Emi Momotaro carrying 56kg at $1.50. The start before that favourite; won by 0.8 len at this track August 29 over 1400m defeating Aiyana with 55kg at $3.90. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
