Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

BELLAGIO RAO (1) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing second and beaten only a head. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts him right in this. STROM (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 3 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. WONDER DUEL (6) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track when beaten 4.5 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give backers a great sight. PAI RATANA (5) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently scored a big 4 len win at this track July 17 over 1400m defeating Rikea Con Panna carrying 55kg at $17.10. The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 at this track on July 3 over 1400m, nose behind Rikea Macchiato carrying 55kg at $5.60. Last-start winner worth including
