Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1230
SHIAWASENO KUTSU (6) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Winning rider Shingo Oyama stays aboard and he is a leading contender. FUTURE LIGHT (12) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. BELLAGIO ABROAD (5) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start over 820m at this track, beaten a head. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. CATCH MY EYE (9) finished fourth at this track four weeks ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

At the latest run second last of 9 at this track on April 28 over 1400m, 18 len behind Siena Sky with 56kg at $11.70. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on April 15 over 1230m, 1.75 len behind Steel Sonic carrying 56kg at $13.40. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
