Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 820
MEISHO MASATSURA (6) made it three wins in succession last time out when he scored by 1.3 lengths over 820m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SEXY CAT (1) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was prominent at the bend before being beaten 3 lengths into sixth over 820m at this track. Has been in the money at each second up start. The engagement of Osamu Shimohara is a positive move. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FAIRY TAIZAN (3) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on December 24, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1230m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect. ELOIM ESSAIM (2) was beaten 8 lengths into eighth in a 1400m contest at this track at her latest appearance. Nicely placed to find some form.

Second run back. First-up after seven months crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 6th of 12 at this track on March 24 over 820m, 3 len behind Meisho Masatsura carrying 55kg at $2.50. Previously second-up 2nd of 11 at this track on December 4 2024 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Kimino Heart with 54kg at $6.80. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

At the latest run second last of 12 at this track on March 24 over 820m, 6 len behind Meisho Masatsura with 57kg at $39. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at Himeji on March 4 over 800m, 1.75 len behind God Amavel carrying 57kg at $17.50. Looks to be making up the numbers.
