Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1230
LOWEN HERZ (4) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at Himeji, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SOLID EVIDENCE (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at Himeji. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. YUINO OTOKOYAMA (7) lines up on the back of a 6 length fourth over 1400m at this track. Key contender. POD JASPER (3) made progress last time out, finishing 11 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1230m at this track. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
