Sonoda Race 10

1400

Stake: $23,911

DAISHIN ARES (2) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw last start and led for home before finishing third over 1400m at this track. Well-placed and could take catching. ISAH (5) didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in sixth. Steps up a level but she is worth another chance. AKANO STRONG (4) settled towards the back of the field last start and made little impact in the straight when eighth over this journey at this track. Well placed and and look for an improved run here. LAZULITE TAKKA (6) is back from a break of 11 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when ninth over 1870m at this track. Change of jockey to Wataru Hirose who has a strong record when aboard with a win and three placings from four rides. Worth including in calculations.
