Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
SHINE CHOUCHOU (10) Competitive effort when 2nd last run at this venue. Performing impressively this preparation. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. A SHIN VICUGNA (3) Fought on well to win a tight contest by a nose last time at the track and was a debutant last start. Must respect in this event. FLAME FORCE (2) Came in 5th last run here but has a good draw. Looks a great place bet. ISLE VITA (8) Came in 4th last run at the track. Good to see jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is jumping on. Likely to get back in the field. Strong each way bet.

Racing well recently. At the latest run sat on the pace when 2nd of 12 at this track on September 3 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Rebecca Rainbow with 55kg at $1.30. The start before that favourite; won by 3 len at this track on August 12 over 1400m defeating Lingus Warrior carrying 55kg at $1.70. Everything points towards a big run.
