Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 820
BELLAGIO MASAKI (11) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 820m after being prominent from the outset. Awkwardly drawn and might need a little luck early but can run well. KURINO AWESOME (8) is racing well including a last start third over 1230m at this track. Expected to be in the finish. LILY PARK (1) improved last start but found a couple better over 820m at this track. Well placed and among the chances on her best form. TOP THE SMILE (2) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 820m at this track. Well placed to figure prominently again.

Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on April 28 over 820m, 2.75 len behind Babe carrying 51kg at $13.50. The run before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 6th of 12 at this track on April 14 over 820m, 3 len behind Baikal carrying 51kg at $11.80. Won't spend a cent in the run from the inside barrier. Good each-way hope.

Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 12 at this track on April 28 over 820m, neck behind Babe carrying 55kg at $10.50. The race before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 12 at this track on April 14 over 820m, 3 len behind Meisho Bonheur with 55kg at $3.50. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at this track on April 21 over 1230m, 4.5 len behind Snowday with 55kg at $5.10. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 9 at this track on April 2 over 1400m, 3 len behind Malaika with 55kg at $5.10. Everything points towards a big run.
