Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1700
T O TURNER (2) has been in the placings at both runs this prep, most recently a closing second over 1700m at this track. Great chance to break through. INVERSION (4) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1870m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Has a high cruising speed. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. SMILE SULFUR (9) produced a solid effort last time when third over 1400m at this track after he was up on the pace all the way. Has three wins at the trip. Expected to run well. TAGANO ESCORT (5) has been freshened up since he finished sixth over 1400m at Kasamatsu seven weeks ago. Has a strong record at this distance with a win and three minor placings from four starts and is a key contender.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run led but faded 2nd of 10 at this track on June 4 over 1870m, 3.5 len behind Dante Barows with 57kg at $17.80. The run before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 at this track on May 7 over 1870m, 0.8 len behind Dante Barows carrying 57kg at $3.10. Sure to be right there at the business end.
