Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1230
BRIONI (4) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. FUTURE LIGHT (1) scored at this track last time out with 1.3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1230m. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Leading player again. YAKUMO DREAM (5) ran a better race and finished sixth last time out over 820m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BLANC BELLE (9) is back after a break of five months. Looking to emulate her win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Definite top-three chance.
