Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

MEISHO SONIC (5) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Form here at this trip is sound. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. MEISHO KAJIKI (7) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only a neck. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. YUINO OTOKOYAMA (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TOMB RAIDER (4) turned in a better run last start, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 4th of 10 at this track on April 2 over 1400m, 7 len behind Hercules Tower with 57kg at $12.90. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on March 19 over 1400m, 5 len behind Okyompi with 57kg at $8.70. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at Himeji February 25 over 1400m defeating Malts Schon with 57kg at $3.50. Second run from a spell 2nd of 10 at this track on March 25 over 1400m, neck behind Maidenhead carrying 57kg at $1.20. Definite winning chance.
