Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
AGNES SANKI (9) was prominent from the outset last time and held on well for second over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Sure to be in the finish. THERMOPYLAE (2) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when third. Generally performs well here and has registered four minor placings. Likely to feature. NAMURA DANNY (6) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing fifth last time here. Osamu Shimohara has registered two minor placings when on board. Capable of running a bold race. IMAGINE LENNON (3) returns from a layoff of four months. Scored over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Has to be respected.
