Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1870
MAKASENAHARE (1) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a nose at this track. Boasts three wins here. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. SUNRISE GUTS (6) returned from a spell seven-and-a-half weeks ago when he was 15th over 2600m at Kokura. Strips fitter and can make amends in this suitable race. ANTHRACITE (7) finished second over 1700m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Has a win and three minor placings from five starts at this track and distance. Capable of a big run. FLASHING RATE (5) hasn't featured at her last two runs, the latest when 12th at Hanshin. In an easier race and should feature.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a nose at this track March 25 over 1700m defeating Eifer Cap carrying 57kg at $2. The run before that 3rd of 10 at Himeji on March 12 over 1800m, 5.5 len behind Gyarando carrying 57kg at $5.90. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.

Most recently ran last of 10 at this track on March 31 over 1700m, 50 len behind Ena Animal carrying 58kg at $20.20. The run before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 11 at Himeji on March 4 over 1500m, 0.5 len behind Tagano William carrying 57kg at $7.70. Likely to find them too smart.

Second-up. Comes off a 54-day let-up. First-up after three months second last of 16 at Kokura on February 28 over 2600m, 20 len behind Birthright with 58.0kg at $13.20. Previously second-up 9th of 11 at Tokyo on October 12 over 2400m, 6 len behind Aaron's Rod carrying 58.0kg at $3.70. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Racing well recently. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on March 31 over 1700m, 3.5 len behind Ena Animal with 57kg at $2.80. Before that won by a neck at Himeji March 10 over 1800m defeating Ena Animal carrying 56kg at $4.20. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
