Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1230
CROWD NOISE (10) scored at this track last time out with 3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1230m. Is yet to be beaten in two starts at this course and distance. Expected to measure up again. SNAKE EYES (9) returns from a break of five-and-a-half months. Was going well at the back end of last prep with placings at his last two starts, the latest at this course and distance. Should be poised just off the lead and can give a great sight. HOKUZAN BURLY (4) has been in the money at both runs this prep, the latest when second over 1230m at this track. Must be respected. MOKARA ACE (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.

Useful entire. Last start second last in a small field at this track on April 30 over 1400m, 5 len behind Vuela Fuerte carrying 57kg at $8.70. Before that struggled in the run home; 6th of 12 at this track on April 8 over 1400m, 7 len behind Windy Palace carrying 57kg at $6.50. Draws the fence and looks a genuine chance.
