Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 820
VARIO (5) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running fifth at this track. Should be further improved and rates as a leading player. YAMAICHI LOVELY (4) ran below expectations last time out at this track, finishing eighth starting at $5.40. Nicely placed to bounce back. HERMIONE (11) missed the placings last start when eighth over 1400m at this track. In the mix. PALMANOVA (7) produced another moderate effort last start when tenth over 1230m at this track. Well placed to turn things around.
