Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1870

NAMURA JIMMY (7) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1700m at this track. Likely to measure up. WIN GRAND BLEU (8) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 33 lengths into eighth over 1400m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but with added fitness he is good enough to take this out. CHATEAU EZE (6) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1700m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Tomohiro Yoshimura gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. LAZULITE TAKKA (5) was beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 1700m at this track three weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

Second run back. First-up after two months ran last of 8 at this track on July 31 over 1400m, 33 len behind Kawakita Hoku Lea carrying 57kg at $11.60. Previously second-up 8th of 14 at Nakayama on April 11 over 3200m, 10 len behind Meisho Sommelier with 57.0kg at $26. Improvement likely and looks a big chance.
