Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
FLIGHT MAGIC (1) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 3 lengths at this track over 1400m. Sure to run well again. A SHIN CIGGIE (3) finished sixth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a neck after being in contention on the turn over 1400m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. ORO VENTO (7) finished fourth over 1230m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is expected to be competitive. A SHIN BILLBOARD (8) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fifth over 1400m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. In the mix.

Last start struggled in the run home; 10th of 12 at this track on April 9 over 1400m, 16 len behind Sky No Haru carrying 54kg at $336. The start before that second last of 8 at this track on March 24 over 1400m, 15 len behind El Gran Golazo with 55kg at $38.10. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 11 at this track on April 14 over 1230m, 7 len behind Long Lasting carrying 56kg at $3.50. The run before that won by a neck at this track March 31 over 1230m defeating Otokono Roman carrying 56kg at $11.90. Safely held last start but is capable of better.
