Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
CURREN PUMP IT UP (2) put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell at this track. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Best figures should see him run well. WONDER BLESS (4) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMART IZANAMI (5) resumes from a spell of four months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1400m at this track. Strong winning chance on best figures. STELLA MARINA (1) came home powerfully and got up for third over today's trip at this track last start. Among the chances again.

Racing well recently. Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on March 31 over 1400m, neck behind Lilienfeld carrying 53kg at $143. The race before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on March 17 over 1400m, 7 len behind Dinan with 53kg at $28.20. Promising effort last time out. Solid prospect.
