Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1230
JERICOACOARA (4) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by half a length over 1230m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. MONONOFUNO MICHI (6) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish fifth over 820m at this track. Was outdashed but got going late and the longer journey looks ideal. Expected to be doing best work late again and can feature. SMART COMMANDER (8) finished out of the money when fifth over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SKY PEACE (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish back in seventh over 1400m at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.

At the latest run sat on the pace before fading to run last of 7 at this track on May 4 over 1400m, 16 len behind Jet Air carrying 55kg at $34.60. The start before that struggled in the run home; 7th of 9 at this track on April 21 over 1400m, 10 len behind Jo Black carrying 54kg at $289.60. Genuine hope on best form.
