Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
SATONO KAIROS (8) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1400m at this track. Impossible to knock the form and will go well again. MEISHO RISE (2) turned in a fine effort to score by 3 lengths at today's course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MATTONE ROSSO (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MIND YOUR RHYTHM (9) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by one length over 1400m at this track. Well placed to feature in the finish again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track on April 22 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Valderrama carrying 55kg at $5.20. Before that 4th of 10 at this track on April 8 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Hagino Inspire carrying 55kg at $9. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run didn't do much in the run home; 8th of 10 at this track on April 8 over 1400m, 17 len behind Hagino Inspire with 55kg at $26.30. The run before that failed to make an impression; ran last of 9 at this track on March 19 over 1400m, 13 len behind Vita Levis with 56kg at $7. Recent form not good enough.
