Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
BONS DUQQA (2) was on a winning run of two races but last time out finished second over 1400m at this track. Hard to fault and can find winning form again. KING VIRGIL (11) finished out of the money when seventh in a 1400m contest at this track three weeks ago. Look for an improved run here. MEINER ALAUDA (10) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth over 1400m at this track. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Sure to be competitive. GOOD HABITS (5) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Well placed to bounce back.

Most recently came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on April 15 over 1400m, 5 len behind Genius Lennon carrying 57kg at $4.90. The run before that won by a neck at this track March 25 over 1400m defeating Margot Fab with 58kg at $4.20. Should enjoy a nice run from the inside barrier.

At the latest run settled back and ran on when 6th of 8 at this track on April 21 over 1400m, 6 len behind Vuela Fuerte with 57kg at $303. Before that eased back early on 7th of 10 at this track on April 2 over 1400m, 12 len behind King Spica carrying 57kg at $409.70. Might need easier race.

Last start ran last of 8 at this track on April 21 over 1400m, 8 len behind Vuela Fuerte with 57kg at $16.50. The race before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 10 at this track on April 2 over 1400m, 4 len behind King Spica with 57kg at $49.10. Form doesn't read well but he is a genuine chance.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up faded in the straight 5th of 8 at this track on March 24 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Genius Lennon carrying 55kg at $9.20. Last start 4th of 12 at this track on April 15 over 1400m, 6 len behind Genius Lennon with 55kg at $16.70. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Didn't fire last start but is capable of better.
