Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400

SHEN HU (6) impressed last time with a 3 length win at this track over this journey. Should park just off the speed. Among the leading chances. STAR OF ADAM (1) went fast early and went on to score by 3 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to figure in the finish. FLIGHT MAGIC (2) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when 11th over 1870m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ULTIMO (5) finished 7 lengths adrift in seventh last time over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
