Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1230
FLASH KELLY (3) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1230m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see her run well. LILY OF THE HEART (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1230m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RIKEA SABLE (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on January 15, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths over 1230m at this track. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from four starts. Worth plenty of thought. SOUND TUTU (6) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Himeji but disappointed last time when tenth, beaten 7 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign sixth of 10 at this track January 15 over 1230m, 4 len behind Silver Bread carrying 57kg at $6.50. First up last campaign fifth of 8 at this track November 13 over 1230m, 4 len behind Shonan Attrait carrying 57kg at $6.10. Sure to be thereabouts.

At the latest run led to the turn then faded 5th of 12 at this track on April 7 over 1400m, 4 len behind Meisho Kaikon carrying 55kg at $13.60. The run before that failed to make an impression; second last of 12 at this track on March 18 over 1400m, 9 len behind Merry Sense carrying 55kg at $8.90. Hard to have.
