Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
BLUE FLAME (9) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when fifth. Fitter and can turn things around. MERKUR (5) ran below expectations last time out at this track, finishing fifth starting at $7.90. Finds a nice race and can make amends. K TWO LEONE (7) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Settles back early but winds up late. One to consider. TEARJERKER (4) was unplaced last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Expect a better run this time around.
