Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
HASHINO OJA (2) ran a better race and finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out at this course and distance. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. T K VINO (7) last appeared when she finished eighth over 1800m at Himeji on January 21. Produced some decent effort earlier in that campaign. Could be hard to stop. K TWO LEONE (9) will be fitter for two stars off a spell and showed improvement last time out. Well placed in this line-up and is among the better chances. TRANSCENDENTAL (5) can mix the form but has claims off a placing here three starts back.
