Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1230

AZIMUT (2) Finished 4th last start at Himeji. Expecting improvement here and has a good draw. Jockey Tomohiro Sasada and trainer Masashi Atarashi deserve respect as a team. Solid career start. Rates well in this race. EDEL RITTER (1) Ran 8th last run at Himeji. Can show a better performance this time and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Will be down in distance. Keep in mind. SHARK RYUSEI (6) Subpar when 8th last run at Himeji. Can feature. GAMILA'S RABAUL (5) Looked good when 3rd last start at Himeji but will be dropping in distance. Solid each way claims.
