Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
WONDER BLING (3) is in sparkling form, scoring at his last 11 starts, the latest win coming over 1400m at this track. Back to the scene of the last success and will take catching. CHIKAPPA (1) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Urawa over 1400m when first-up last time in work. Solid place chance first-up for the new barn. MARUKA IGUAZU (6) could only manage sixth last start over 1600m at Kochi. Form here is strong boasting seven wins from 13 starts. One of the leading contenders. VLAG (10) lifted strongly to score two back then was prominent in the run last time before finishing third over 1400m at this track. Has good early toe and must be respected.
