Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
MARENKA (2) ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. ROMIHI (10) is yet to break through after 15 starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1870m at this track. Wide draw but keeps coming. Well placed and gets her chance to break through. IO SEA ONE (9) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. RHEIN PORTULACA (8) ran a better race last start, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
