Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1700

KAKUHEN (6) broke through for his maiden win when resuming over 1230m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he could work through his grades now. KAIRI (2) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1400m contest at this track last time out by a head. Race sets up well for him. CROWN CAERUS (5) finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Right in this. BUCHI A KONE (8) is better than what he showed last start so include.

Second-up. First-up after three months favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 4 len win at this track April 7 over 1230m defeating A Shin Jikokuten with 56kg at $2. Previously second-up 5th of 12 at this track on January 2 over 820m, 7 len behind Chogolisa with 56kg at $13.40. Big chance to make it back-to-back wins. Improver with winning prospects.
