Sonoda Race 8

1400

Stake: $36,787

MEISHO SHIMATO (6) Came in 2nd last run at this track and proven performer at this distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Hard to see anything getting past this today. ASHAKA DUMEY (5) Just short of the win last run around here. Better hope. AIYANA (1) Finished 5th last start at the track. Giving another go here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Should race on the speed. Not out of this. BOOYAKA (2) Ran 4th last run at this track but has a positive draw. First start for a new trainer. Possesses very good finishing speed. Keep in mind.
