Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
EL FENIX (7) scored an impressive win by 3.5 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1400m at this track. Record at this trip is excellent and he looks hard to stop again. EIYU MAX (8) is overdue for a win but starting to prove costly, the latest another placing when second at this track. Rates well and gets chance to break through. A SHIN ELAN (2) did well when resuming over 1400m at this track last start, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and will strip much fitter for this. Ready to find best form. MEISHO YASUMASA (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten just half a length. Well placed to run top-three again.
