Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
PRESLEY (7) didn't feature last start when eighth over 1230m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Capable of sharp improvement. KASHINO HANZO (3) has been out of the frame at his last couple of runs, last time finishing back in sixth over 1400m at Saga. Well-placed in this easier assignment and he is among the leading players. CONTI BANQUET (4) again failed to feature last start, finishing eighth over 1400m at Himeji. Has enough ability to be competitive in this line-up. A SHIN CIGGIE (5) was sixth over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.

Raced two times to date. At very long odds at debut, 9th of 16 at Tokyo Dirt on February 7 over 1400m, 11 len behind Team Utopia with 55.0kg at $117.40. Second-up raced on the speed throughout before fading second last of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on March 1 over 1800m, 18 len behind Atlas Tesoro carrying 55.0kg at $172.90. Can't recommend her in this.
