Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
PEMPENGUSA (5) is back from a spell of eight months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a contest over this journey at Himeji. Will be hard to beat fresh. NICE LIGHT (8) doesn't win out of turn but does come into calculations in a race lacing depth. Has run well over this journey in the past and is worth good thought in this line-up. YASHIRO SMILEY (2) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 820m at this track. Should be winding up late again. MYTHOS ODE (1) gave away a big start last start and failed to run on but her form prior against tougher opposition stacks up well for this. Worth another chance.

Most recently ran last of 11 at this track on October 22 over 1230m, 22 len behind Mozu Akatombo with 55kg at $6.90. The run before that didn't do much in the run home; 11th of 13 at Hanshin Dirt on September 15 over 1800m, 18 len behind Layback Spin with 52.0kg at $32.90. Won't spend a penny in the run from the inside stall. Good each-way hope.
