Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1700

CLASSICAL KAISER (5) did well last time out when second at this track over 1400m, only beaten a neck. That run should have him rock-hard fit and will appreciate the longer journey now. EMERGENCE (1) was well in the market last time on the back of some solid form but was safely held in seventh over 1400m at this track. Tackles a longer journey this time and look for an improved run. KANEMITSU ACE (6) was well in commission last time out but ran below expectations when sixth over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed and can be involved in the finish. T O WILSON (3) finished fourth last start over 1870m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Solid top-three prospects.
