Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1870

LUX ECLAIR (7) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by half a length over 1800m at Monbetsu last start. Big chance on the back of that encouraging effort last time. GRAND COSME (2) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.3 lengths over 1870m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in five starts over this course and distance. Reunites with Daichi Matsuki who has two wins from six rides. Should be in the finish. ENA ANIMAL (4) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1700m, finishing sixth. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. KIICHI AUTUMN (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.

Form hard to fault. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at Monbetsu November 13 over 1800m defeating Kamuino Utage with 57kg at $4.10. The start before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Monbetsu on October 30 over 1700m, 3 len behind Blessed Nile carrying 57kg at $6.30. Winning chance again.
