Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
VALAR (2) was far from disgraced when fifth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. KAWAKITA HOKU LEA (6) went around over this course and distance last time and led from the outset to score by a nose. Tomohiro Yoshimura who has four wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts her right in this. QUICK QUEEN (5) was far from disgraced when fourth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after she made late ground. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. HERCULES TOWER (8) is coming off a last-start seventh, beaten 3 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Has a sound record here with two wins from six starts. Sure to be competitive.
