Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
OTOKONO ROMAN (5) is racing well. Scored at Himeji two back then finished second, beaten a neck, over 1230m at this track at the latest appearance three-and-a-half weeks ago. Major player. NISHINO OTOMUSUME (4) was always well out of her ground when sixth over 1870m at this track two weeks ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is likely to play a big role. ALOHA MAU LOA (8) is a nine-start maiden who wasn't far away last time when second over 1400m at this track on April 9. Among the main hopes. BELLAGIO KAMUY (7) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge.
