Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
AILES D'ESPOIR (11) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second over 1400m at this track. Will take catching. KAKOGAN (2) didn't feature last start when 12th over 1800m at Kyoto. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating in this suitable assignment. ETRE DOUE (12) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1400m at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Expect a big run. COSMO SHINTEI (8) could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her.
