Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
LILY HEART (9) boxed on to finish second last start over 1230m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. NIHONPIRO MARVEL (8) is a seven-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1600m at Kyoto. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. SMART BULL (4) last appeared when sixth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt ten weeks ago. Has to be respected. MEISHO BASQUE (2) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
