Sonoda Race 6

1400

Stake: $15,635

PIKKU PRINSSI (5) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 30 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from six runs. Rates highly and will prove tough to beat here as always. MAPLE KENJI (8) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by a neck last time out over 1400m at this track. Well placed and can salute again. AURORA LUMIERE (2) had been building to a win before breaking through last time out, lifting to score by a neck over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Hijikata Sota stays aboard. Has winning claims on best figures. MALTS SCHON (9) has been in the market at her last couple of runs since resuming but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at this track over 1230m. Top-three prospects.

Dual acceptor. Most recently second last of 10 at this track on March 18 over 1400m, 8 len behind Yamanin La Vera carrying 54kg at $77. Before that ran last of 9 at Himeji on March 4 over 1500m, 19 len behind Metropolitana with 54kg at $210.20. Low draw but others have better credentials.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Recent form sound. Most recently favourite; came from midfield and won by a neck at this track March 13 over 1400m defeating Mikki Candle with 55kg at $3.10. The run before that 2nd of 8 at Himeji on February 5 over 1400m, 2 len behind Kikuno Rta carrying 54kg at $5.40. Another win cannot be ruled out.

Before that second last of 12 at Himeji on February 5 over 1500m, 12 len behind Meisho Kaikon carrying 56kg at $7.70. Prefer to watch at this stage.
