Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1230
LA LA VANILLE (5) has registered four minor placings from five runs this campaign. Produced another good performance last start when second over 820m at this track after she was always up in the leading division. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BUCHI A DREAM (6) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished seventh over 1400m at Himeji. Rates highly here and is a strong chance to break through. LOVELY LORA (3) finished fourth at her last appearance over 1230m at this track on June 11. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. TRUE BEAUTY (7) finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 1230m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.

Racing well recently. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on June 4 over 820m, 3 len behind Safranal carrying 54kg at $1.80. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at this track on May 7 over 820m, 3.5 len behind Fuku Hualien carrying 54kg at $3.40. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.

At the latest run crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 5th of 12 at this track on June 11 over 1230m, 13 len behind A Shin Jikokuten carrying 55kg at $260.40. The start before that 8th of 10 at this track on May 21 over 1400m, 24 len behind Taishin with 52kg at $35.90. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.
