Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
TOSHIKUN (8) won his maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 6 lengths. Shaping up nicely and he is a key runner. RADIANT EYE (2) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. A SHIN NIRVANA (7) did little and finished sixth over 1400m at this track last start. Look for a better run. SMILE HERAKLES (6) improved last time out, finishing second over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

At the latest run raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at this track on April 1 over 1400m, 11 len behind Toshikun carrying 56kg at $57.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at this track on March 18 over 1400m, nose behind Alan carrying 56kg at $2.20. Second-up scored a big 6 len win at this track April 1 over 1400m defeating A Shin Kiribati carrying 56kg at $1.01. Going well enough to take this out.
