Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
MEISHO ALADDIN (4) is a promising galloper who got the prize at his last run before a break three-and-a-half months ago over 1400m at this track. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Form at this distance is strong with two wins from four starts and is sure to run well. OUTSIDE BET (8) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 2.25 lengths when fifth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. WAKINO ARIES (5) is a 13-start maiden who has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1230m at this track. Big chance again. ERIKA MARGHERITA (2) resumed over 1400m at this track and showed good speed to lead around the bend before fading to finish fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can sneak into the finish.
