Sonoda Race 10

1400

Prize Money: $23,792

AS YOU LIKE (8) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. SMILE CLARK (9) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. SKY NO HARU (5) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success over 1400m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Wataru Hirose scored on him last time and retains the ride. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to score again. DANON ONEUP (3) finished third last time over 1400m at this track. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with solid claims.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently 8th of 12 at this track on June 10 over 1400m, 11 len behind Smile Clark with 54kg at $10.80. Before that 4th of 8 at this track on May 21 over 1400m, 6 len behind Bellagio Gulf carrying 54kg at $25.20. Won't spend a penny in the run from the inside draw. Good each-way hope.

Racing well recently. At the latest run raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at this track on July 1 over 1400m, 5 len behind Z Silvia carrying 57kg at $6.90. Before that came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on May 27 over 1400m, 9 len behind Bellagio Dream with 57kg at $6. Capable of a strong showing.

Recent form sound. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 12 at this track on June 24 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Valar carrying 56kg at $1.80. The run before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at this track June 4 over 1400m defeating Jet Air carrying 55kg at $1.50. This is well within her grasp.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run won by 3 len at this track June 10 over 1400m defeating Zendan Subashiri carrying 57kg at $4.40. The start before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 8 at this track on May 21 over 1400m, 6 len behind Bellagio Gulf with 57kg at $15.70. Plenty to like about his prospects.
