Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
ARATAMANO KISEKI (7) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish third when resuming last start at this course and distance. Should feature in the finish. WAKINO GLASS (1) last appeared when she finished fifth over 1400m at this track on December 25. Sure to make her presence felt. LIGHT BRAVE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. WIN REVERENCE (8) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 1400m. Placed to advantage and can make amends.
