Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
MEISHO MAGOICHI (4) is going well, scoring by 5 lengths two runs back at this track before finishing fourth last time at this course and distance. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and two placings from six tries. Leading contender. HUNTER KILLER (7) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Cannot be discounted. LONG SELLER ASK (8) turned in a fine effort to score by a nose at this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last time out. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. GUTI (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.5 lengths at today's course and distance last start. Player again.

Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at this track on April 8 over 1400m, 8 len behind Grand Centre with 55kg at $48.10. Before that 6th of 10 at this track on March 17 over 1400m, 19 len behind Shine Chouchou carrying 55kg at $17.10. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.

Most recently 4th of 10 at this track on April 8 over 1400m, 6 len behind Grand Centre carrying 55kg at $11.40. The race before that didn't do much in the run home; 5th of 9 at this track on March 19 over 1400m, 11 len behind Okyompi with 55kg at $14.10. Unlikely to threaten.
