Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400

T O VARNAY (11) scored an impressive win by 4 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1400m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is a great chance to get the prize again. PIROKO GIGA MAX (2) was far too good first up last start when she scored by 3.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and is expected to feature in the finish. RESPLENDOR (9) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. NAMURA OLIVIA (7) missed the placings last start when sixth over 1400m at this track. Toyokazu Tano gets the best out of this six-year-old mare. Finds a nice race and can atone.

Second-up. First-up after five months won by 3.5 len at this track April 9 over 1400m defeating Agnes Sanki with 55kg at $3. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at this track on June 4 over 1400m, 16 len behind Love Bay with 54kg at $32.70. Big chance to make it back-to-back wins. Improver with winning prospects.
