Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400
KIMON GAME (11) came from a wide gate and could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Draws out again but fitter is capable of a bold run. SNARK DURIAN (1) led throughout last start to score an effortless 6 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey with five wins and a minor placing from nine starts. Expected to go very well. POD ROI (9) finished third last start over 1400m at this track following a run of two wins on end. Well placed to return to best form. TAGANO HIMOROGI (10) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently when second over 1400m at this track. Anticipating another big run.

Most recently second last of 8 at this track on May 6 over 1400m, 14 len behind Snark Durian carrying 54kg at $64.70. The run before that 5th of 9 at this track on April 16 over 1400m, 36 len behind Virya carrying 54kg at $39.60. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.

Form hard to fault. Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at this track on May 6 over 1400m, 7 len behind Vina Can Tho with 55kg at $13.
