Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 820
SKY RISE (7) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 820m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. MIDNIGHT FLY (2) started at $5 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 10 lengths at this track over 820m. Looks well placed and capable of a big run this time. OISHI SHAKUNAGE (8) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 45 lengths when ninth in a 1400m contest at this track three weeks ago. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. YOUNG OH OH (3) has switched yards since finishing 11th four weeks ago over 1200m at Ohi. Solid top-three hope.
