Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400

MERRY SENSE (5) battled on well to hold second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten one length as favourite. Likely improver with strong prospects. HAFEN (1) has been safely held at her last couple of runs, the latest when ninth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Finds an easier assignment and is a winning hope. A SHIN ANIMO (11) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with success as public elect over 1400m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths after being prominent at the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. GOOD HABITS (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Capable of featuring prominently.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 11 at this track on May 6 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Bons Duqqa carrying 54kg at $5.30. The race before that faded in the straight 5th of 9 at this track on April 29 over 1400m, 4 len behind Ozmopolitan carrying 54kg at $4.80. Nice alley and worth including.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on the pace when 2nd of 8 at this track on May 14 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Love Me Mary carrying 57kg at $1.60. Before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track April 14 over 1400m defeating A Shin Jasper with 58kg at $3.20. This is well within his grasp.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by a head at this track May 6 over 1400m defeating Good Habits with 57kg at $1.60. The run before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on April 15 over 1400m, 5 len behind Genius Lennon with 57kg at $4.90. Capable of a strong showing.
