Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
KASHINO HANZO (1) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only a neck. Expected to feature prominently again. SIENA SKY (8) had been performing well prior to finishing eighth last start over 1230m at this track. Can atone. LA POUSSE D'OR (3) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track over 1400m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Sure to go well. LIVE MOJITO (6) has missed the frame at his last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing 13th over 2400m at Hanshin. Easier assignment this time and should do much better.
