Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400

MERRY SENSE (7) is racing with great purpose and has two wins on end, most recently getting home by half a length over 1400m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. The one to beat. FLASHING RATE (5) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth over 1870m at this track. Likely improver. LOVE ME MARY (2) raced below her best last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up and can atone. YAMANIN RIGID (1) was seventh over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Nicely placed to find some form.
