Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

CAT'S RISE (3) disappointed when 5 lengths back in seventh last time over 1230m at this track. Kept fresh for this. Deserves another chance. VATRENI (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 22 lengths when seventh over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. AUGUST (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 18 when beaten 71 lengths into 12th at this track over 1870m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. PARTY BELL (5) is returning from a spell of 12 weeks. Finished 12th at Tokyo Dirt over 1400m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Satoshi Matsuura.
