Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
SHIMPU KOEDO (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HUNTER KILLER (5) has started twice, missing the frame on debut then doing a better job to finish second last time, beaten 7 lengths over 1400m at this track. Sits handy in the run. Close to a win and should go well. MIRACLE ZADA (10) went forward from the low draw last time before fading to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Among the chances. TRANSCENDENTAL (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth. Deserves another chance.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 10 at Himeji on March 3 over 1400m, 10 len behind Crucifer carrying 57kg at $1.40. Second-up 2nd of 9 at this track on March 19 over 1400m, 7 len behind Meisho Unabara with 57kg at $3.80. Key chance likely to give a big sight.
