Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1230

TOP VIVID (6) was always forward and boxed on to finish third when resuming over 1230m at this track last time. Has a good record here at this journey. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Fitter so could win this. KIKUNO LE MEILLEUR (3) missed the placings last time out over this distance at this track but was only beaten 2 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at 10 of 18 starts. Leading contender. SHONAN ATTRAIT (1) started at $4.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 4 lengths. Nicely drawn to turn things around. SILVER BREAD (5) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep. Keep safe.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation by 0.8 len this track January 15 over 1230m defeating Zendanno Hagemi carrying 57kg at $11.40. First up last campaign third of 10 at this track December 4 over 1230m, 4 len behind Zendanno Hagemi with 57kg at $17.70. Look for a bold run.
