Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1230

FLASH KELLY (9) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 800m at Himeji. Going well enough to take this out. ELPIZO (10) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when fourth over 1400m at Himeji. Has a fine record here with two wins from six starts. Should run well. SCAT MELODY (6) missed the frame last start over 1400m at Himeji, finishing fifth. Well placed to turn things around. KEY BEST (11) landed his maiden win last time when resuming from a spell over 800m at Himeji. Key runner.

Returns from a 36-day let-up. At the latest run couldn't go on with it; 5th of 12 at Himeji on February 25 over 1400m, 6 len behind Kichi Fighter carrying 57kg at $21.90. The race before that 4th of 9 at Himeji on February 5 over 1400m, 7 len behind Smart Kingdom with 57kg at $9.20. Mediocre effort last time out but this suits.
