Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1230
OLIVIA SUNRISE (4) went to the lead from the low draw last time out and was still there on straightening, eventually finishing third over 1400m at this track. Well-placed and will take catching. LAST DUEL (8) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1230m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. FANGXIN LADY (1) has a change of rider after she was well held last time when fifth over 1230m at this track. Previous form sound and may be worth another chance. MOKARA ACE (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a bold display.

Second run back. First-up after five months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track on August 26 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Buchi A carrying 57kg at $4.60. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at this track on September 25 2024 over 1230m, head behind Ecoro Courage carrying 55kg at $3.20. Improver with definite claims.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently led but faded 3rd of 10 at this track on August 5 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Danon Oneup carrying 55kg at $5.90. The race before that led but faded 3rd of 7 at this track on July 8 over 1400m, 5 len behind Marble Halo carrying 56kg at $3.50. This is well within her grasp.

Last start ran last of 9 at this track on August 19 over 1400m, 8 len behind Valar with 52kg at $41.20. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at this track on July 30 over 1230m, 4 len behind A Shin Regards carrying 55kg at $66.40. Form doesn't read well but she is a genuine chance.

Form hard to fault. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track on August 21 over 1230m, 1.5 len behind Wakino Noble carrying 56kg at $7.90. The run before that won by 2.5 len at this track on July 24 over 1230m defeating Angler carrying 57kg at $30.50. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
