Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1870

CLASSICAL KAISER (5) scored by 1.5 lengths first up from a spell last time out over 1700m at this track. Has a terrific record here with three wins and one placing from four starts. Leading contender. ISKIOS (3) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ANDERMATT (7) did little and finished 10 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1700m at this track last start after being prominent at the turn, a less impressive effort than her fourth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. METEO RENA (6) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track, finishing 9 lengths from the winner. Ticks all the right boxes.
