Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1700

MEINER THRACIA (2) started at $9.30 last time on the back of a win at Himeji two starts ago but was below his best, finishing sixth over 1870m at this track. Suitably placed and should be right in this SWEET FAIRY (4) was last at the races when she finished eighth over 1870m at this track on December 4. Could be hard to stop. A P POETESS (3) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth over 1870m here last time. In the mix. CROWN ARABIAN (5) ran a better race last start to finish sixth over 1400m at this track. Tackles a longer journey this time around and is worth including.
