Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1230
OTOKONO ROMAN (5) struggled in a tougher race two starts back but last time appreciated the drop in grade and bounced back to salute over 1400m at Himeji. In the right form and should go well again. MILK ALPHA NO (8) was sent out favourite last time and scored by half a length at this track. Has a decent record at this track with one win and two minor placings. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. ORO VENTO (1) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1400m at Himeji, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. COPANO ROCKET (7) finished 4 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1400m at Himeji on March 10 after he got a long way back in the run. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
