Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1230

BELLAGIO FOCUS (6) First up after a break. Winner by 2 1/2L last run at this venue and putting a tidy record together so far. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura adds value. Looks to be in good shape and must go close today. KUKUNA ZINC (2) Finished 7th last start at Himeji. Should improve here and has a positive barrier. Looking sharp on the track this campaign and returns to a longer distance. Can win this. STEP EYE (5) Clearly outclassed when 10th last time at Himeji. Looks to have a good chance of placing. YOSHINO AVANCE (4) Finished 8th last start at Himeji. Worth keeping safe.
