Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
BELLAGIO ABROAD (2) Did well when 2nd last start at the track and promising career start. Racing consistently this campaign and can find a nice position from the draw. Must be considered. II VISION STAR (3) Back after a 27 week break. Did well when 3rd last time here and putting a tidy record together. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. EKVATOR (7) Finished 2nd last start at this track. Will be positive in the run early. Jockey Tomohiro Sasada and trainer Masashi Atarashi can't be overlooked. Can go on with it. LIVE MOJITO (8) Average at best when 6th last run at this venue. Contender in this event.
