Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400
GAMBARE BEAR (3) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 1.75 lengths. Nicely drawn and she is sure to go well. ENA FUKUKITARU (5) broke through for a win last start when second up from a spell, scoring by half a length over 1400m at this track. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so a top-three finish is on the cards. BELLAGIO HARUKA (2) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves plenty of thought. MARINA SUNRISE (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1400m at this track when beaten 2 lengths. Should be in the mix again.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at this track on December 31 over 1400m, 2 len behind Valar carrying 55kg at $11.80. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track on December 18 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Ena Fukukitaru carrying 55kg at $11.80. Worth thought from inside alley.
