Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1870

DANTE BAROWS (1) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by a neck when resuming last time out over 1700m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. TAIKI FORCE (8) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1700m at this track. Will prove very tough to beat. ARMALCOLITE (5) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was fourth in a 1700m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. INVERSION (4) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage failed to finish over 1700m at this track. Can sneak into the finish.
