Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1230
PASSION PRIMA (4) is a distance specialist who is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1230m at this track when she was handy all the way. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form. SMALT (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 1230m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from six outings. Leading player again. NINEN F GUMI (2) is back at the races for the first time since January 13. Scored over 1400m at this track to launch the last campaign. Worth plenty of thought fresh. COCCOLARE (6) is resuming with solid claims.

Racing well recently. Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 8 at this track on April 29 over 1230m, neck behind Tapuchan with 55kg at $3.30. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 12 at this track on April 14 over 1230m, 9 len behind Victory Bridge carrying 55kg at $21.50. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again.
