Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
GRAND CENTRE (7) Was a comprehensive winner by 4L last time at Himeji and solid performer at this trip in the past. Has early speed and positions nicely. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. YUNA PINK GOLD (10) Ran 5th last run at the track. Can make a comeback. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. RHEIN PORTULACA (5) Got the upper hand late when winning last time at this venue. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a key engagement. Expected to be flashing home. Has the ability to figure. EVGENES (8) Came in 4th last start at this venue. Capable of a big run.

Last start came from midfield and won by a neck at this track March 17 over 1400m defeating Flame Force carrying 55kg at $6.80. The race before that ran last of 12 at Himeji on February 17 over 1500m, 8 len behind Injection carrying 55kg at $87.60. No reason she cannot build on that success.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track on March 25 over 1400m, 1.4 len behind Maidenhead with 57kg at $14.10. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Himeji on March 5 over 1400m, 7 len behind Daiboken carrying 57kg at $26.40. Genuine hope on latest effort.
