Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 820
HORNFELS (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.75 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a nice progression on the first-up run. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. BUFFE (4) did a great job to score by 1.3 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. DINNER RUSH (5) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 3.5 lengths, at this track over 820m after being in contention on the turn. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. KEY BEST (3) scored two back at Himeji but was below his best last time when ninth over 1230m at this track. Should be thereabouts in this suitable race.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by 1.3 len at this track April 1 over 820m defeating Ace Raising carrying 57kg at $3.90. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at Himeji on March 12 over 800m, 3.5 len behind Chutchu Ppoppo carrying 57kg at $4.80. Can get the job done again.

Last start led to the turn then faded 6th of 12 at this track on April 9 over 820m, 3.5 len behind Belladonna Lily carrying 55kg at $6.80. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at this track on March 18 over 1230m, 2.75 len behind Soubise with 55kg at $3.10. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.

At the latest run 10th of 12 at this track on March 24 over 820m, 5 len behind Meisho Masatsura with 55kg at $71.40. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 12 at Himeji on February 17 over 800m, 2.5 len behind Anya Wakuwaku with 55kg at $64.60. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.
