Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1230
GOD HORNET (3) booted up from the inside draw to sit on the speed last start then stuck on well to finish 2 lengths away in second over 1230m at this track. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. CIPHER CITY (8) was last at the races when he finished second over 1400m at Himeji on February 3. Sure to make his presence felt. PASSION PRIMA (4) is a distance specialist who recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 9 lengths away in second over 1230m at this track when she was in the firing line all the way. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WIN VIEW (5) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1230m at this track. Well placed to figure prominently again.

Most recently second last of 12 at this track on April 15 over 820m, 9 len behind Kawakitaborderless with 55kg at $362. The start before that eased back early on 9th of 12 at this track on April 1 over 820m, 7 len behind Buffe with 55kg at $692.90. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
