Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1230

A SHIN REGARDS (3) has two wins and two minor placings from four starts this preparation. Found one better last start at Morioka Dirt over 1200m after being up on the pace all the way. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. SEXY CAT (1) went fast early over 1230m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by 4 lengths. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she cannot be underestimated. JUNE COMET (7) missed the frame last start over 1230m at this track, finishing fourth after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FANGXIN LADY (8) is putting together some solid results. Finished second here two starts back then scored by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1230m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again.
