Sonoda Race 9

1400

Prize Money: $30,590

Z SILVIA (2) did a great job to score by one length over today's course and distance last time out to continue her outstanding recent form. Goes up a rung or two but she is worth serious consideration. VOLA VIA (6) lined up for new trainer Akihiro Inada last start and was having his first attempt on a dirt track when tenth at this track over 1230m. Look for an improved run. KIICHI AUTUMN (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth over 1400m at this track. Third-up record is strong and can find peak form this time. NAMURA OLIVIA (4) settled well back from the inside draw last start before coming home nicely to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Can feature in the finish.

Most recently 5th of 11 at this track on July 2 over 1400m, 9 len behind Sunrise Guts with 51kg at $107.80. The race before that ran last of 12 at Nagoya on June 2 over 1400m, 17 len behind Cal Bay Cruise carrying 55kg at $79.30. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
