Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1870
OTOKONO ROMAN (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from five starts. Top chance again. G T STEER (4) is back after a break of six months. At the last run before the layoff he finished 12th over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m. No surprise if he was able to get off the mark in this suitable race. GRAND FINALE (10) finished seventh last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. HATSUAKANE (6) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with an eighth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.

Returns from a 29-day let-up. At the latest run got back early 6th of 9 at this track on April 28 over 1400m, 11 len behind Siena Sky carrying 56kg at $114. The start before that sat on the pace before fading second last of 8 at this track on April 9 over 1400m, 7 len behind Kairi carrying 56kg at $10. This looks too tough.
