Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
AMORE SUNRISE (10) closed last prep four-and-a-half months ago with a second over 1400m at this track. Has a win and two minor placings from three starts at this track and distance. Ticks all the right boxes. ENAMORADA (6) resumes from a spell of four months that came after she recorded two straight wins to close the campaign. Same winning combination from last prep. Can measure up again. ULTIMO (5) returns from a break of four months. Was going well at the back end of last prep with placings at her last three starts, the latest at this course and distance. Sota Hijikata who has two wins when partnering stays on. Has claims on her best figures. LA LA PASSAGE (8) is an 11-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing third at this track over 1400m last time out. Can break the ice.
