Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400

RESPLENDOR (2) ran a strong race last time when beaten 0.8 lengths into second at this course and distance. That made it four successive top-two finishes including a win at this course and distance. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position from this draw. Top chance. MIKIYO WOOD TAIL (7) raced below her best last time but the prior efforts had merit. She is capable of a big performance. CRAZY HORSE (4) failed to figure again last time but it wouldn't surprise to see a better showing in this line-up. A SHIN OKIKURMI (1) should enjoy a soft run from the inside draw and that may spark improvement.

The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 9 at this track on April 7 over 1400m, neck behind Daishichisei with 55kg at $8.40. Leading player.
