Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 820
A SHIN JIKOKUTEN (6) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing second over 1230m at this track. Sure to go well. LOVELY LORA (7) failed to figure again last time over 1230m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Will drift back but wind up late. One of the leading chances. FUKU HUALIEN (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 9 lengths away in eighth over 1230m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. ROMANCE WARRIOR (8) is on debut. By Best Warrior and is out of the Yoshihiro Iida stable. Top-three chance.
