Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1230

LIGHT BRAVE (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a head away in second over 1230m at this track when he was handy all the way. Has his share of ability and finds a suitable race. SNARK STAGE (6) is struggling to find the winners' circle but has been around the mark, last start finishing third over 820m at this track. Has a fair record at this trip with a win and three minor placings so she is high among the chances. SMART KINGDOM (1) returns from a spell of five months and did win first-up last time in work over 1400m at this track. Can return with a bold run. TOSHIN HANA (3) resumes and won first-up last time in work over 1400m at Himeji. Can fire while fresh.
