Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
RISKY WHISKY (5) took advantage of the good draw last start and led for much of the way before finishing third, beaten 4 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Sure to go well. UKRAINE EYES (6) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on October 29, finishing sixth and beaten 3 lengths over 820m at this track. Should make her presence felt. ACCUEILLIR (9) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1400m at Himeji in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TAGANO OWL (4) resumes in a similar race to his last run four months ago when tenth, beaten 24 lengths. Can do much better this time around.

Racing well recently. At the latest run led but faded 3rd of 10 at this track on April 1 over 1400m, 4 len behind Maestro Light with 57kg at $3.80. The race before that 4th of 10 at Himeji on March 10 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Taiikusuwari carrying 57kg at $2.50. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
