Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
HAPPY MONSTER (8) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. OBEDIENT (1) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track when ninth. Looks well placed here and can finally break through. FROST CITY (9) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in ninth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. A SHIN CINERARIA (2) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when fifth. Worth another chance.
