Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
SHINING GIFT (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. AIR ZAKYNTHOS (1) scored over 1400m here two back but missed the frame last time out over 1400m at this track. Tough to beat on best figures and can atone. ASTRIT (8) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1400m at this track, finishing second and only beaten 1.3 lengths at $30.40. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run and is not to be discounted. HIGH GOOD SHINE (3) bounced back to winning form at this track last start and rates a chance in this field.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 10 at this track on December 31 over 1400m, 3 len behind O Shin Angel with 55kg at $3.40. The race before that won by 0.5 len at this track December 16 over 1400m defeating Coeur Et Cassis with 55kg at $7.20. Makes plenty of appeal from the inside alley.
