Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1230
SUN LINARIA (1) held on well to finish second last time out over 1400m at this track after leading for much of the way. Sure to go well. SNOWDAY (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1230m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. SAFARI (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only one length over 1230m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. T K LINO (2) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1230m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
