Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

YODONO TAIYO (3) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by a neck over 1400m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Tomohiro Yoshimura who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Bold showing expected. RAPIDO FIORE (6) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Expect him to play a major role. LIGHTNING BLUE (2) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. GREEN THEATER (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when sixth over 1400m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.

At the latest run led but faded 3rd of 8 at this track on May 14 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Love Me Mary carrying 55kg at $10.80. The start before that did the work up front then tired second last of 9 at this track on April 29 over 1400m, 9 len behind Ozmopolitan with 55kg at $82. Has been racing well. Top prospects.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 36 day let-up. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track April 22 over 1400m defeating Nanan with 57kg at $1.80. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on April 7 over 1400m, neck behind Meisho Kaikon with 57kg at $2.10. Great chance to win again.
