GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Satono Favor is the likely leader at a slick tempo. NIJIIRO LINE (9) was again denied last start when she found one better over 1300m at this track. Sure to be thereabouts. KNOCK ON WOOD (2) finished second two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in seventh. Finds a nice race and can feature. Grade 3 winner SATONO FAVOR (11) is having his first run since April 21. Goes well when fresh with four wins and two placings from nine starts and is sure to make his presence felt. SONIC LIGHT (10) closed last prep with a ninth over 1300m at this track on February 20. Worth noting that she opened the last campaign with a minor placing at this track over 1300m. A solid return is anticipated.
