Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
NINKARI (5) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Expecting a bold showing. JUSTY LUCK (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when sixth over 1400m here three weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely and is sure to run well. SHUTTER SPEED (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 6 lengths when fifth in a 1400m contest at this circuit three weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason why he cannot find winning ways. GRAND NEBULA (6) has switched yards since finishing ninth a month ago over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Respect any market confidence.
