Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
BRIGLIADORO (4) started at $5.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth here over 1400m. Has the advantage of an ideal gate and can bounce back. MEISHO KOHOKU (8) missed the frame on turf last time at Fukushima over 2750m when adrift in tenth. Has struggled on the JRA circuit recently but is better placed here and can feature. MILD CORSA (1) improved last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. A SHIN ELAN (7) was thereabouts two starts back but didn't impress last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Willing to give him another chance.
