Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400

SANJURO (5) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. LAYER (7) scored his maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 0.8 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is worth including. HIRONO RAFALE (1) got well back over 1700m at this track last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 19 lengths away in tenth. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is one of the main contenders. BEGINNING SHOMA (3) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure prominently.
