Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
NICE LIGHT (7) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1400m at this track when second. Strong winning chance. LA LA ANCESTRAL (4) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at Himeji before finishing third. Could be hard to beat in this suitable race. TOMB RAIDER (8) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways. JOY BLACK (2) was in the money two starts back at Himeji but couldn't back it up last time when 11th at this track over 1400m. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
