Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400

SAKURA TOP SELLER (1) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish fifth over 1400m at Himeji. Will be tough to hold out. PPALLIPPALLI (8) settled well back and when fifth over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. In the mix. GRAND THEMIS (3) was always well out of her ground last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. EL HIERRO (6) hasn't been able to break through for an while, the latest effort a fourth over 1400m at this track. Can feature.
