Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
FUTURE LIGHT (3) was sent out favourite last time and scored by half a length at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Expected to measure up. FLIGHT MAGIC (6) finished tenth when resuming last start at Funabashi over 1200m. Has since changed yards and significantly he won second-up when last in work. Solid chance for the new barn. YAMATO FORCE (1) is a three-start maiden who finished 12th at his most recent appearance over 1400m at this track after he was well back on straightening. Solid top-three chance on his best figures. CATCH MY EYE (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
