Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1230
RAPIDA NINA (2) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish eighth over the same trip at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Nicely placed to bounce back. FOUR W D (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1230m at this track. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. SAND EMPRESS (1) was below her best last time, finishing sixth over 1700m at this track. Look for an improved run here. ASAKA LOVE LOVE (4) returns from a layoff of five months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 820m at this track. Can make her presence felt.
