Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
BELLAGIO ZERO (4) was quickly into stride over 1400m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by 7 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. TAMBA BUSHO (1) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GOOD LUCK STAR (2) got the prize two runs ago at Kanazawa. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track, beaten 37 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. OZMOPOLITAN (3) finished third at this track and distance at her last appearance five months ago. One to consider.
