Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

FAIRY BLUE (5) was prominent at the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1230m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. RAPIDO FIORE (2) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second at his latest appearance. Form here over this distance is very solid. Toyokazu Tano who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Leading contender. AKAZA (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when sixth over 1230m at this track. Tomohiro Yoshimura gets the best out of this seven-year-old mare. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DON ACHEKA (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 1700m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways.
