Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

ADD ONE (5) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fourth over 1400m at this track. The third-up record is strong and is sure to feature in the finish. SERAPHINITE (3) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. MELODY MAKER (1) resumes in a similar race to her last run nine weeks ago when she scored by 0.8 lengths. Comes here with definite top-three claims. ANTHRACITE (6) finished third last start over 1400m at this track when he worked home well. Should be cherry-ripe and has a good record at this course and distance, including 11 wins. In the right race and is worth serious consideration.
