With the advantage of an inside alley and the engagement of top jockey Brett Prebble, Sohna should be able to shake off his bridesmaid tag in the middle pin of tonight's Triple Trio at Happy Valley, reports the HK Racing Post's John Bell.
He says: Although the Sean Woods-trained gelding's win ratio of one win from 38 starts is somewhat disturbing, the six-year-old has managed a further 18 placings and seems to have found a tailor-made event to kick off his new campaign in grand style. The last time the Canny Lad gelding resumed from a similar break, he looked all over a winner before being nailed on the line by the capable Classic Reunion.
He should get an ideal run in midfield from gate one and be presented at the right time in the straight by Prebble, with his toughest opposition set to come from Regency Kingdom, Marble Red - who will sport blinkers for the first time - Dr Well and Carry Good News.
In the opening leg, Prebble looks the man to follow again when he teams up with the Caspar Fownes-trained First Baby. Similar to Sohna, the six-year-old has been missing from the winner's stall for some time, but looks set to break through after coming up with the prized inside alley and being perfectly placed on his best form. Other worthy inclusions are Amazing Fortune, Wait For Me, Care Free Midas, Holiday Sun and Jolly Wongchoy.
