Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400

SAKURA GRACIEUX (1) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Finds a tougher race but she has the talent to test this line-up. HESHIKIRI (2) finished 4 lengths back in third over 820m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Kazuyuki Watase stays on. Sure to run well. YELL QUEEN (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. KOIBITOMISAKI (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish eighth here. Can feature in the finish.

Racing well recently. Last start 3rd of 12 at this track on April 1 over 820m, 4 len behind Hornfels carrying 57kg at $6.30. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Himeji March 10 over 800m defeating Fire Torch carrying 57kg at $3.20. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
