Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
PICHIKU PACHIKU (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m after being in the firing line all the way. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SHIMPU KOEDO (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. DAZZLING ICE (9) raced below her best last time when sixth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. T O MONT BLANC (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1400m at this track after she got a long way back in the run. In the right race and should be thereabouts.
