Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1700
DESERVE YOU (4) reunites with F Komaki after scoring with ease over 1870m at this track last time. Should be poised just off the lead. Terrific chance in a suitable contest. HERCULES TOWER (5) was in the firing line on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1700m at this track. Anticipating another big run. ANDERMATT (3) was below her best last time, finishing sixth over 1870m at this track. Improver. METEO RENA (1) is a consistent performer with two minor placings from three starts this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when third over 1870m at this track. Well placed and can give this a shake.

The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at this track on May 21 over 1700m, 10 len behind Emergence with 51kg at $23.70. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.
