Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1230
ZENDANNO HAGEMI (7) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1230m at this track. Has been in strong form this campaign, registering four wins. Sure to run well again. KANTA WOOD TAIL (2) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing ninth over 820m at this track last start. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. RIKEA SABLE (9) is coming off a last-start fourth over 820m at this track. Sure to be competitive. LOVE ME TEQUILA (3) was fifth in an 820m contest at this track at her latest appearance. Well placed and no surprise to see her in contention.

Racing well recently. Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 12 at this track on December 25 over 1230m, nose behind Kenji Faith carrying 58kg at $1.10. The start before that favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win at this track December 4 over 1230m defeating Kenji Faith with 57kg at $1.60. Put the writing on the wall last time.
