Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
QUEEN OF LILY (1) led throughout last time over 1230m at this track and scored a comfortable win. Nice weight drop for this and is right in this. A SHIN KIRIBATI (2) is a speedy colt who was a winner first up at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. ALM CHURCHILL (6) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Generally runs well second-up and can go on with it. A SHIN VIENTO (4) raced just off the lead before letting down nicely and scoring a 1.3 lengths win over this journey at this track last time. Yamamotoya Taizo stays on. Solid claims on best form.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track July 2 over 1230m defeating T K Sona Sapo with 55kg at $1.40. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 9 at this track on June 12 over 1400m, neck behind Cosmo Taishi with 55kg at $5.20. Sure to go well again.

At the latest run eased back early on 6th of 8 at this track on July 24 over 1400m, 12 len behind Archaic with 55kg at $141.50. The run before that got back early 6th of 9 at this track on July 9 over 1400m, 16 len behind San Miguel with 56kg at $216.90. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.

Second run back. First-up after four months won by 1.3 len at this track July 15 over 1400m defeating T O Conder with 58kg at $2.10. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len at this track March 24 over 1400m defeating Lien Solide carrying 57kg at $1.10. No reason he cannot salute once again. Improver with winning prospects.

Second-up. First-up after four months won by 1.5 len at this track July 9 over 1400m defeating Resplendor carrying 55kg at $3.60. Previously second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track on January 3 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Patrol Run with 55kg at $1.60. Fitter and worth including.
