Sonoda

SANNEN HANAGUMI (4) Fresh after a 28 week break. Tidy effort when 2nd last time at this track and having second career run. Added confidence jockey with Tomohiro Yoshimura doing the steering. Rates a winning chance. PAJARO AZUL (6) Was competitive when 2nd last time at this track. Osamu Shimohara and Masamichi Kashihara form a proven partnership. Serious contender. SMILE HERAKLES (8) Nice run when 3rd last start at this track. Should come to hand quickly. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. GRAPHOS (7) Competitive effort when 3rd last time here and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Could pose a threat and looks promising.
