Sonoda Race 2

1400

Prize Money: $10,274

SMILE HERAKLES (6) is yet to break through after four starts. Placed two back then last time out was fourth over 1400m at Himeji. Best figures stack up and looks well placed to get off the mark. QUEEN ARTHUR (1) got a long way back when ninth over 1400m at this track last start. Fitter and can contest for a place. HERMANO (5) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at Himeji over 1400m. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. YOSHINO MARRONCHAN (7) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth over 1400m at Himeji. Worth including.

The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Himeji on February 3 over 1500m, 1.1 len behind A Shin Ciggie with 56kg at $2.70. Can turn things around.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation eighth of 12 at this track November 25 over 1230m, 12 len behind Star Eye Seira carrying 54kg at $108.50. On debut second last of 7 at this track November 5 over 820m, 10 len behind Sachino Megumi carrying 54kg at $11.30. Doesn't appeal.
