Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1700
VIRYA (7) was in a different class last time with a dominant 7 lengths win over 1400m at this track, making it six wins in a row. Hard to beat again. LA VIE EN (2) finished third when resuming last start over 1870m at this track. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in 12 starts, including nine wins and three placings. Fitter and should be in the finish. MELAMPODIUM (4) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth over 1600m at Funabashi. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. ENTRAPMENT (5) finished fourth over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score when fresh from a spell two runs back. Can bounce straight back to winning form.
