Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 820
LA LA VANILLE (4) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time when she was always up in the leading division over 820m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. MIDNIGHT FLY (12) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 820m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SKY RISE (11) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 820m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. HELTER SKELTER (2) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over this journey at this track. One to watch for late in the piece.

The race before that 3rd of 10 at this track on April 7 over 1230m, 1.5 len behind Future Light with 53kg at $7. Strong chance from a low draw.
