Sonoda Race 7

1400

Stake: $15,513

LOVE BAY (5) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, getting there by 7 lengths. Shaping up nicely and jockey Osamu Shimohara sticks. Should be in the finish again. MIRACLE BERN (1) improved sharply on her seventh two starts back with success as favourite over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by a neck. One of the chief contenders. COEUR BRILLER (6) did well last time out to score by 1.75 lengths as public elect over 1400m at this track. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. WONDER BISCUIT (3) drew wide last time and was safely held when seventh over this track and trip. A better showing is expected.
