Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
ARCHAIC (3) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. SUN AND THE MOON (4) is a 10-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. ARUMAKAN (1) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth, beaten 8 lengths, last start over 1400m at this track. Well placed and expected to feature. A SHIN VIENTO (8) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 19 lengths into seventh over 1400m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
