Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 820
KAWAKITABORDERLESS (8) is a distance specialist who is coming along nicely this prep. Finished sixth when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track then improved and scored as favourite at this track and trip two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Can go on with it. DINNER RUSH (7) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight but bowing on to finish fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over this trip here last time. May take catching. HIRO SHIGE SUNRISE (1) hasn't been far away, the latest effort a second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1230m at this track. His record at this journey is sound so he should be in the finish again. YOU'RE MY DREAM (9) was safely held last time out but recorded a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the hopes.
