Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1230

LUX METEOR (10) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1230m at this track, scoring by a neck. Open to plenty of improvement and looks sure to be in the finish again. A SHIN WAND (7) is returning from a spell of six months. Finished 15th at Fukushima over 1200m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Tadaaki Hashimoto. One of the better hopes despite the layoff. HANABUSA (11) is knocking on the door after just missing last time over 1230m at this track. Going well enough to overcome the tricky draw. Z KAREN (4) won here two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing seventh over 1230m at this track. Should be competitive in this suitable race.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run faded in the straight 5th of 9 at this track on April 15 over 1230m, 5.5 len behind Lux Meteor carrying 56kg at $8.90. The run before that 3rd in a small field at this track on March 17 over 1230m, 1.75 len behind Daijobanai carrying 55kg at $4.40. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

First up last campaign 12th of 18 at Kokura in the G3 Kitakyushu Kinen on July 6 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Yamanin Al Rihla with 54.0kg at $24.80. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 30 day let-up. Last start 4th of 9 at this track on April 15 over 1230m, 5 len behind Lux Meteor carrying 57kg at $16.50. The race before that won by 2 len at this track April 1 over 1400m defeating Madam Hawk with 58kg at $17.40. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
