Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
DONALD POKER (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. KAIRI (7) failed to figure again last time over 1230m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth. Finds the right race to break through. NO TEN P KAN (1) did well last start but found a couple better over 1230m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. LA POUSSE D'OR (4) finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth at her most recent outing over 1230m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her.

Most recently sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 11 at this track on March 24 over 1230m, 1.75 len behind Namura Papi with 56kg at $24.40. The race before that struggled in the run home; 5th of 8 at Himeji on March 4 over 1800m, 33 len behind Bright Rose with 57kg at $107.40. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
