Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 820
ANGLER (2) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by half a length over 1230m at this track. Toyokazu Tano scored on him last time and retains the ride. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. FIORINO (7) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field. HORNFELS (1) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling in a rearwards position and failing to come on when tenth over 820m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. MIKIYO WOOD TAIL (5) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by half a length last time out over 1400m at this track. Worth including.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; won by a neck at this track May 27 over 820m defeating Heshikiri with 51kg at $2.40. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at this track on May 13 over 820m, 4 len behind Ena Drive with 51kg at $3.40. Big chance to go back-to-back.
