Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1700

CLASSICAL KAISER (1) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at this track. Went to the paddock off a win at this course and distance in January. Comes to hand quickly so can strike fresh again. THE TIMES (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 2.5 lengths at today's course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. YAZAN (4) placed fresh then last start finished fifth at this track over 1870m. Fitter so anticipating a good run. WISPY SNOW (2) ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Can play a role.

Third-up today. First-up 2nd of 11 at Himeji on February 27 over 1500m, 1.5 len behind Okyompi with 54kg at $187.10. Second run from a spell came from midfield and won by 2.5 len at this track April 8 over 1700m defeating Epoeposan carrying 54kg at $15.10. Found her best form now. Will take beating.
