Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 820
SMART FREYJA (3) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Could only manage to finish 11th at the latest run over 1400m at Himeji. Well placed and happy to have her on top. SUN SHIMME FLEUR (11) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when sixth in a 1230m contest at this track four weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. NISHINO GALANTE (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in third over 820m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. BELLAGIO ABROAD (9) is having his second run after he failed to threaten on debut last time, finishing 40 lengths from the winner in 18th over 1400m at Hanshin. Should do much better here.

Most recently 5th of 12 at this track on April 2 over 820m, 7 len behind Summer Park with 57kg at $7.40. The run before that raced on the pace before fading ran last of 12 at Himeji on March 12 over 1400m, 13 len behind Otokono Roman with 56kg at $10.20. The rails draw brings him right into calculations.
