Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
LONG SELLER ASK (6) is a dynamic first-up performer back from a break of five months and looking to make it four straight wins when fresh from a spell, the latest over 1400m at this track. Sure to go well. OBEDIENT (8) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Further improvement can see her in the finish again. NINKARI (2) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Well placed and is a chance. FLAME FORCE (7) ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only a neck over 1400m at this track. Expect a bold display.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on March 17 over 1400m, neck behind Rhein Portulaca carrying 57kg at $16.20. The start before that second last of 10 at Himeji on February 17 over 1400m, 13 len behind Cut Back with 57kg at $30.30. Worth plenty of thought.
