Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1230
REVALOIR (5) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Scored over 1230m at this track to launch the last campaign. Sure to make his presence felt fresh. GOLDEN SCHEME (3) resumes in a similar race to his last run four-and-a-half months ago when second. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. BACHELO REX (4) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start second at this track over 1230m when beaten 3.5 lengths. Generally performs well here and has registered 12 minor placings. Sure to be competitive. CATHPA IMPACT (9) missed the frame last start over 1230m at this track when fifth. Finds a nice race and is in the mix.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 31 day let-up. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 12 at this track on April 21 over 1230m, 3.5 len behind Snowday carrying 57kg at $14.20. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 9 at this track on April 8 over 1400m, neck behind Not B One with 57kg at $1.10. Everything points towards a big run.
