Sonoda Race 5

1700

Prize Money: $16,102

HERNANDEZ (3) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 1.3 lengths at this track and trip last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Exciting type and hard knock the winning form. DERMA VEDA (2) raced over 1400m last time at this track and finished fifth. Weight reduction will suit. Backmarker who keeps coming. One of the leading chances. NEUER HELD (6) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Right in this. GRAN GUERRERO (4) returns from a spell of five-and-a-half months and did win first-up last time in work over 1400m at this track. Top-three claims.

Second-up favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at this track July 3 over 1700m defeating Meisho Matsuri carrying 57kg at $1.90. Racing well. Has strong claims.

Comments

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 10 at this track on July 18 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Satono Dolce carrying 55kg at $58.50. The race before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at this track on July 3 over 1400m, 4 len behind Sakura Vigueur carrying 54kg at $8.30. Has been racing well. Top prospects.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
