Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
SHIBANOSUTOMUKITTO (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing second and beaten only 0.8 lengths over 1400m at Himeji. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WONDER GUARNERI (6) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 1800m at Himeji. Rates highly in this line up. Gets his chance. GUTI (2) is yet to break through in 13 runs. Finished fifth at his last appearance over 1500m at Himeji on March 12. Solid top-three chance on his best figures. SUNNY R (4) finished third first-up at Himeji then couldn't repeat the dose last time when fourth at Himeji over 1400m when beaten 4 lengths. This looks a nice race for her.
