Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
IMAGINE LENNON (1) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track last time. Has an excellent record here over this distance and is yet to miss the placings, including three wins. Has a high cruising speed. Likely to feature. NISHINO WIND (7) finished 10 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his seventh at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. OBEDIENT (2) is yet to break through in 23 runs. Finished fourth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on May 14 after she gave away a big start. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. STROMUNG (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on May 20 over 1400m, 4 len behind Cavalier Quest carrying 57kg at $1.40. Previously second-up favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a neck at this track January 7 over 1400m defeating Cosmo Taishi with 57kg at $3. Sure to run well.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at this track on May 20 over 1400m, 6 len behind Cavalier Quest carrying 57kg at $6.80. The race before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 9 at this track on April 30 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Strom carrying 57kg at $5.90. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
