Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
VUELA FUERTE (4) returned from a three months break over 1400m last start and got the job done by a nose at this track. Boasts 10 wins here. F Komaki who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Best form puts him right in this. WAR IS OVER (7) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track last time. Has a good record here at this journey. Likely to feature. LOVE ME MARY (9) did a great job to score by one length over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. WALRUS (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1870m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
