Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1870
RAMBLING MAN (1) has missed the frame at his last couple of outings, the latest when fifth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Far better placed and happy to have him on top this time. CRAZE CINEMA (8) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1500m at Himeji. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. PAZU (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1500m at Himeji. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to be prominent. PLEASANT HARBOR (9) turned in an eye-catching run over 1800m at Himeji last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish second. Will spot them a start but watch for him late.
