Sonoda Race 3

1400

Stake: $16,350

LIVE MOJITO (3) Placed 3rd last run at this venue. Has plenty of early speed. Should be right in the finish. RED FIVE (1) Came in 7th last time at Nagoya. Capable of bouncing back and has drawn the rails. Coming to a new trainer but coming back in distance. Can measure up to this company. BELLOTA (7) Performed below standard when 7th last time at this track. Suitably placed in this race. WAVE MECHANICS (4) Back from a break. Looked outclassed when 16th last time at Nakayama and coming back in trip. Jockey Osamu Shimohara and trainer Masamichi Kashihara are a strong combination. Can threaten if right today.

Ran 7th last time at Nagoya. Capable of bouncing back and has drawn to do little work. Likely to be well placed early. First race for a new trainer. Definite claims.

At $81.00 sub-standard effort when 10th last run at Hanshin but will try to take advantage of the draw. Tomohiro Yoshimura rates highly aboard. Might be ridden for luck. Can't recommend.

Resumes from a spell. At $81.00 didn't attack the line when 14th last run at Hanshin and will be down in distance. Racing for a new trainer. Will need to find a new peak.
