Sonoda Race 7

1400

Prize Money: $11,896

KUROBOTAN (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. CHOPASNI (2) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AGNES SANKI (5) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 7 lengths back in sixth. Tomohiro Yoshimura gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HAPPY MONSTER (3) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Recent form sound. Last start raced on the pace when 3rd of 9 at this track on July 17 over 1400m, 3 len behind La La Vanille carrying 55kg at $6.90. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on July 2 over 1400m, 1.1 len behind A Shin Pissarro carrying 55kg at $6. Capable of going to the next level.
