Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
BALL THE MAHONEY (3) raced on the pace over 1400m at this track last time and held on for a place. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. BOMB POT (2) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Well placed and can repeat the dose. COSMO BLAZE (9) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 1400m on September 18. Worth plenty of thought. RESPLENDOR (1) showed good early dash and led for much of the way before weakening out of it when ninth over 1400m at this track. Can sneak into the finish.

Last start did the work up front then tired 9th of 12 at this track on May 22 over 1400m, 6 len behind Nishino Benitoite with 55kg at $7. The run before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 7 at this track on May 4 over 1400m, 6 len behind Mikiyo Wood Tail carrying 55kg at $1.30. Likely to play a big role.
