Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1230
KIKUNO LE MEILLEUR (1) has three wins and one placing from five outings this campaign. Scored last start by 5 lengths at this track over 1230m after being prominent upon straightening. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be underestimated. AGNES RYU (8) scored at this track last time out with a neck to spare over today's journey. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins and a placing. Among the leading chances. RADIANT HORSE (5) missed the frame last start over 1230m at this track when seventh. Steps up a level but she is good enough to feature. PURPLE BEAUTY (6) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 820m at this track. Out in trip and well placed to make amends.
