Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
VARIRAPTOR (3) Appeared lacklustre when 6th last start here. Giving another chance here. Should jump out and bowl along. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a pivotal booking. Solid claims. WONDER ELPIS (7) Disappointing effort when 8th last time at this track. Worth consideration. KRIS BERG (4) Placed 3rd last time at the track. Looks to be value. A SHIN CHARMANT (5) Average performance when 9th last time at this venue. Has to be included.
