Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1700
PUFF OF WIND (10) got home by 6 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Boasts six wins here. Tomohiro Yoshimura who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to play a big role. SUN WING (1) was in a different class last time out, settling well back before rounding up his rivals to score by 3 lengths over 1700m at this track. Should be in the finish again. MEISHO ROLLS (4) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a head after being prominent at the corner over 1400m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. TAGANO DIOSA (2) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 1870m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Has started six times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.

Form hard to fault. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 3 len at this track May 13 over 1700m defeating Choppy with 57kg at $3.50. The run before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on April 23 over 1400m, nose behind Lien Solide with 57kg at $10.60. No reason he cannot salute again.

Second-up today. Last run 2nd in a small field at this track on May 20 over 1870m, 3.5 len behind Deserve You with 56kg at $1.60. At only start last preparation favourite; won by 3.5 len at this track January 13 over 1700m defeating Lilies Bloom with 56kg at $1.50. Should progress from that first-up run.

Form hard to fault. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at this track May 20 over 1400m defeating You Are My Soul carrying 57kg at $4. The race before that 4th of 10 at this track on May 6 over 1400m, 7 len behind Festivo carrying 57kg at $45.90. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 31-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on May 4 over 1700m, 1.5 len behind Classical Kaiser carrying 55kg at $5.60. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len at this track April 8 over 1700m defeating Epoeposan carrying 54kg at $15.10. Genuine hope on latest effort.

Racing well recently. Most recently favourite; scored a big 6 len win at this track May 14 over 1400m defeating T O Personal carrying 57kg at $1.30. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at this track on April 29 over 1400m, 5 len behind Dame Sunrise carrying 57kg at $5.70. Has the right credentials.
