Sonoda Race 8

1400

Stake: $22,807

MARBLE HALO (7) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. OLIVIA SUNRISE (4) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Boasts three wins here. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. BALL THE MAHONEY (3) saluted at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in the firing line on the turn before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 0.7 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HAGINO INSPIRE (5) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw last start and led for home before finishing third over 1400m at this track. Should give backers a sight again.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at this track on June 25 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Sky No Haru carrying 53kg at $22.50. The start before that couldn't go on with it; 7th of 9 at this track on June 10 over 1230m, 9 len behind Azimut carrying 56kg at $7.50. Tough assignment.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track on June 18 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Elan Fevre carrying 57kg at $4.60. Before that won by 1.5 len at this track June 5 over 1400m defeating Cherry Time with 57kg at $5.20. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.

Racing well recently. Last start favourite; won by 2.5 len at this track June 11 over 1400m defeating Tagano Hasu Binah carrying 55kg at $2.10. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 10 at this track on April 15 over 1400m, head behind Cut Back carrying 54kg at $1.90. Rates highly. Big chance.
