Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1700

CRESCO YUSHA (8) scored by 3.5 lengths over 1400m at this track last time out to make it five wins on end. Boasts a solid record of eight wins from 10 starts. Expected to be in the finish again. EIFER CAP (3) ran a nice race last time out over 1700m at this track, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. LAZULITE TAKKA (7) improved last time out to score by a head as favourite over 1400m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. CHERRY RUSSIAN (2) has five placings from six starts this preparation and finished second last start at this track. Overdue.

Recent form sound. Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track on May 21 over 1400m, 6 len behind Bellagio Gulf with 57kg at $11. The start before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track on April 22 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Yodono Taiyo carrying 57kg at $21.80. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 32 day let-up. Last start favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win at this track May 4 over 1400m defeating Potenza with 55kg at $1.10. The run before that favourite; won by 7 len at this track April 14 over 1400m defeating Aurora Lumiere carrying 56kg at $2.10. Sure to be right there at the business end.
