Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400

SATONO RUFFIAN (8) recorded another success last time at this track and trip, making it two straight wins this campaign. Hard to knock and can maintain the perfect record this time in. OMATSURI OTOKO (1) returns after a spell of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings at this course and distance. Consistent and draws well. One of the genuine hopes in the race. SMART SCEPTER (4) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Himeji 11 weeks ago. Has a high cruising speed. Go well. DAIJOBANAI (7) is a distance specialist who turned things around last start and landed the prize by half a length over 1230m at this track. Can feature in the finish again.

Most recently settled back and ran on when 9th of 12 at this track on April 7 over 1400m, 8 len behind Satono Ruffian with 57kg at $56.50. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily second last of 7 at Himeji on February 25 over 1800m, 13 len behind Smart Victor with 57kg at $3.30. Likely to find them too smart.
