Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
DAME SUNRISE (5) Back after a spell. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at this track and hard to fault at the distance. Should jump out and bowl along. Fights on bravely so consider. KEY CLASSIC (8) Came in 2nd last run at the track. Has good closing speed. Looks to be value. GRAND ROSE (1) Was agonizingly close last start at this venue and can save some energy from the draw. Goes very close. BILLOWY DADA (10) Ran 4th last start at Himeji. Chance.
