Sonoda Race 2

1400

Stake: $14,306

NAMURA DURAN (1) was solid last start when sixth from a wide draw over today's course and distance. Came from this much better barrier to place prior. Among the winning hopes. JET AIR (3) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark four runs back, the latest effort a third at this course and distance. Expected to run well again. G T PEARL (7) has been finishing out of the money but not too far off the placegetters of late. Looks much better placed in this line up so looking for an improved result. Wouldn't surprise to see a better showing from WISTERIA DADDY (4) in this more suitable assignment.

The start before that 4th of 9 at Himeji on March 3 over 1400m, 14 len behind One Of Us with 57kg at $3.50. This is well within his grasp.
