Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
MEISHO ALADDIN (1) scored by 9 lengths over this distance at this track last time out when first up from a spell. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in five starts, including three wins and two placings. Likely to feature. VIGOR SUNRISE (4) progressed nicely last time out after being in the firing line on the bend to score by half a length as public elect over 1400m at this track. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. LIEN SOLIDE (10) turned in a fine effort to win by a nose at this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves plenty of thought. TENKU WORLD (9) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a nose away in second over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
