Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
TOSHIKUN (1) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten a nose over 1400m at this track. Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. A SHIN KIRIBATI (2) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1400m at Himeji three weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. A SHIN REAPER (7) finished third last time over 1400m at Himeji. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. JOTEI (3) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at Himeji. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
