Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1230
A SHIN REEL (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 820m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. KAKUHEN (8) is a three-start maiden who was close to a win before a 12 weeks break, finishing off with a minor placing at this track. Has a tricky gate to overcome. Has ability and is a solid chance. A SHIN JIKOKUTEN (5) was in the money first up then met with strong support last time but could only manage fifth over 1400m at Himeji. Fitter and deserves another chance. GRAPHOS (9) was beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 800m at Himeji at his latest appearance. Capable of featuring prominently.
