Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
PAJARO AZUL (2) 3yo by Fierement racing as a debutant for trainer Masamichi Kashihara and can find a nice position from the draw. Jockey Osamu Shimohara is in form. Betting is the best guide. LA LA VANILLE (12) Looked good when 3rd last run at Himeji and facing a rise in trip. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Appears well in this. TOSHIKUN (6) Nadal 3yo on debut for Mitsuru Ishibashi. Watch the market. FUTURE LIGHT (7) First up and was competitive when 3rd first up last preparation at this venue. Recent form of the stable is strong. Will give a big sight.
