Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 820
SUN UIKYO (5) was an impressive winner last time over 820m at this track, leading throughout and putting 2.5 lengths on his rivals. Has a strong association with Kanta Inoue who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. ANKORO (3) returns from a break of nine weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a sixth over 800m at Himeji. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. SOLEA (9) started at $3.90 last time but could only manage ninth, beaten 6 lengths, at Kawasaki over 900m. Expected to cross from wide out. One of the main contenders. KANTA WOOD TAIL (11) had been racing well before he was safely held last time out when ninth over 1230m at this track. Distance specialist with seven wins and eight minor placings from 22 runs and must be respected.

Most recently didn't do much in the run home; 9th of 12 at this track on April 8 over 1230m, 6 len behind Grand Rutile carrying 53kg at $33. The race before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 12 at this track on March 19 over 1230m, 2.5 len behind Shonan Attrait with 54kg at $13.10. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
