Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
MEISHO RISE (1) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, leading throughout and putting a big space to his rivals. Expected to take some stopping again. MEISHO KOTODAMA (4) went around over this course and distance last time and led from the outset to score by a nose. Sure to run well again. HARUSAME (7) turned in a fine effort to win at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she can win again. LONG LONG LONG (8) finished third at Himeji two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing ninth. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.

Second run back. First-up after four months favourite; scored a big 30 len win at this track March 26 over 1400m defeating Handen Laurier with 57kg at $1.10. Previously second-up got back early 5th of 10 at this track on September 26 over 1400m, 3 len behind Zinger carrying 56kg at $2.50. Great chance to make it two in a row. Improver with winning prospects.
