Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1700

SIN LIMITES (1) is a last start winner over 1700m at Kanazawa, making it four victories from seven appearances this time in. Should be prominent from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. MADAM HAWK (7) comes here off a last-start fourth over 1700m at this track. Has solid form at this course with six wins and 15 minor placings. Race sets up well for her. EARTH EOS (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 11th over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. This doesn't look as hard so he can return to the winners' list. ARMALCOLITE (3) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period but looks better placed this time and is worth keeping safe.

Second-up. Comes off a 41-day let-up. First-up after three months ran last of 10 at this track on June 5 over 1400m, 21 len behind Satono Ruffian with 57kg at $118.60. Previously second-up ran second last of 13 at Kyoto Dirt on November 1 over 1800m, 19 len behind T O Granville carrying 58.0kg at $297.40. Fitter but must improve sharply.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 8 at this track on July 1 over 1700m, 3.5 len behind Iza Green Light with 56kg at $12.10. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track on June 3 over 1870m, 3.5 len behind Transcendence carrying 56kg at $117. Rates highly. Big chance.
