Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1230
GOLD MIRE (8) ran a nice race last time out over 1230m at this track, finishing second and beaten a neck. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. HO O AMOUREUSE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but fitter can make amends. CHARMY EYES (2) wound up strongly last time out to finish half a length adrift in third over 1230m at this track. Among the better chances. S K PLAN (11) last appeared five weeks ago over 920m at Nagoya when he finished third. This is his first run for the Masahiro Kitano stable. Should be primed for this.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran last of 10 at this track on May 5 over 1400m, 25 len behind Sometime Ago carrying 52kg at $6.10. Previously second-up 16th of 18 at Chukyo on September 1 over 2000m, 14 len behind Omega Navigator with 55.0kg at $20.50. Improvement likely and looks a big chance.

Going well. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track on May 15 over 1230m, 0.5 len behind Gambaru Futoshi with 55kg at $14.30. Before that 4th of 12 at this track on April 30 over 1230m, 4 len behind Accordance carrying 55kg at $24.40. Winning prospects enhanced by the favourable draw.

Most recently faded in the straight 5th of 12 at this track on May 5 over 1230m, 3.5 len behind Kadosan Gambaru with 55kg at $182.30. Before that sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 11 at this track on April 22 over 1230m, 14 len behind Reimu with 55kg at $67.90. Draws well but predicted to struggle.
