Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 820
RYUNO HINAKO (6) turned in a fair effort at this track over 1230m at her last run three-and-a-half months ago, finishing fifth. Looks a winning chance. NINEN E GUMI (4) settled well back and failed to live up to expectations over 820m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Nicely placed to turn things around. MADAM LADYBUG (9) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 820m at this track. Rates highly on best figures - can do much better. BLUE DESIRE (11) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 820m at this track after he got a long way back in the run. Good enough on his day and can fill a top-three spot.

Comes here off a 37-day let-up. Last start 9th of 12 at this track on March 17 over 820m, 6 len behind Nordia with 55kg at $4.80. The run before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 at Himeji on February 26 over 800m, neck behind Sei Brocken carrying 55kg at $1.30. Nicely placed today to make amends.
