Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
GENIUS LENNON (2) missed the frame when resuming from a break last time out, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths over 1500m at Himeji. Has never been out of the placings at the second run back from a spell from three tries and has plenty of upside with the run now under his belt. Ready to find winning form. MEINER ALAUDA (7) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at Himeji. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. OZMOPOLITAN (6) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1500m at Himeji. Cherry-ripe now and is among the place hopes. POTENZA (3) last raced on March 11 when beaten 8 lengths into fourth at Himeji over 1400m. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
