Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
SNARK YUMA (1) won at this track and distance at his last outing six months ago. Rates highly and should take some beating. MAGO ICHITA (4) is a 16-start maiden finding it tough to get off the mark but is knocking on the door, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track last time out after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SETONO DIAMOND (10) finished fourth at this track and distance at her last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. One to consider. HAPPY MONSTER (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
