Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400

STROMUNG (1) was close to breaking through last time, beaten just a neck over 1400m at Himeji. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. JOY BLACK (2) was never in contention when eighth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Well placed and look for an improved run here. ITALIC TYPE (5) was prominent into the straight last time but faltered late to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. CAVALIER QUEST (7) again failed to feature last start, finishing eighth over 1230m at this track. Hard to fault if at his best.
