Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400

ISLE VITA (6) comes here off a break of nine months. Scored over 1200m at Monbetsu at the start of last prep. Now under the care of new trainer Isao Nagakura. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. ONIGIRI (1) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Likely to feature. SUEHIRO INAZUMA (5) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at today's course and distance last start in a far better run. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. TECHNO EXPRESS (3) recorded an all-the-way win last time out by a neck over today's journey at this track. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Solid claims on best form.
