Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
GOLDEN SCHEME (10) is a distance specialist who progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just one length from the winner in second over 1230m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SUNRISE GREAT (7) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FLEURIR (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track three weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. METAL METALLICA (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 1.3 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

The run before that 4th of 10 at this track on May 28 over 1400m, 6 len behind Ailes D'espoir with 52kg at $52.40. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.
