Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
T O VARNAY (5) has not appeared since she won over 1230m at this track on November 12. Has ability and should be right in the finish fresh. KAKOGAN (7) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track when fifth. Has claims. TECHNO EXPRESS (6) finished fifth last time out over 820m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago as $3.1 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be competitive. SATIN BODICE (3) missed the placings last start when ninth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
