Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
QUEEN OF LILY (5) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1230m at this track. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and is a leading contender. DAIGO RYUJIN (7) turned in a fine effort to score by 9 lengths at this course and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. TAISHIN (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 2.75 lengths over 1400m at this track. F Komaki who has two wins when partnering stays on. Sure to be competitive. MEISHO RANKEI (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2400m at Kyoto. Fitter so expect a better run this time.

Racing well recently. At the latest run favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track July 2 over 1230m defeating T K Sona Sapo with 55kg at $1.40. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 9 at this track on June 12 over 1400m, neck behind Cosmo Taishi carrying 55kg at $5.20. Definite chance.

Second-up. First-up after four months won by 9 len at this track June 26 over 1400m defeating Fleurir carrying 54kg at $3.10. Previously second-up scored a big 4 len win at Himeji February 4 over 1400m defeating Bring Joy carrying 57kg at $1.01. Great chance to make it two in a row. Improver with winning prospects.

Most recently sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at this track on July 1 over 1400m, 6 len behind Ppallippalli with 55kg at $27. The run before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 4th of 12 at this track on June 10 over 1400m, 6 len behind Champion Seira with 55kg at $7.90. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
