Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1230

KUKUNA ZINC (6) showed good early pace over 820m at this track last time and kept going to score by 0.8 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. YOSHINO AVANCE (2) went fast early and went on to score by 8 lengths last time out over 1230m at this track. Will take advantage of the good draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. SHARK RYUSEI (9) finished fifth last time out over 820m at this track two weeks ago as $1.9 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Expected to cross from wide out. One of the main contenders. BAISHU (7) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a leading role.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Monbetsu on November 12 over 1000m, 2 len behind Field Appeal carrying 54kg at $212. The start before that 6th of 11 at Monbetsu on October 30 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Lala Jacaranda with 56kg at $238.80. Might just find this lot a bit smart.

The run before that scored a big 7 len win at this track November 27 over 820m defeating Komori Boulder carrying 54kg at $2.70. Can do a lot better than that last run.
