Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
STROM (4) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. MIKIYO WOOD TAIL (1) was back in winning form last time with a dominant 4 lengths margin over 1400m at this track. Up in the weights but combines again with Shiotsu Rina and looks sure to measure up. RED ACTEUR (2) was in a different class last time out, settling well back before rounding up his rivals to score by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely to feature again. FOREWIND (9) ran a better race last time when third over 1400m at this track. Back in form and can run another forward race.

Racing well recently. At the latest run favourite; won by 2.5 len at this track May 4 over 1400m defeating Mitologia carrying 56kg at $2.30. The run before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at this track on April 23 over 1400m, 3 len behind Suehiro Vent carrying 57kg at $14.70. Excellent winning chance with the help of an inside barrier.

Second-up. First-up after four months favourite; won by 3 len at this track April 30 over 1400m defeating Key Classic with 57kg at $1.50. Previously second-up favourite; won by 2.5 len at this track December 11 over 1400m defeating Wakino Glass carrying 57kg at $1.01. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Improver with winning prospects.
