Sonoda

NEVER SAY GOODBYE (10) Tidy effort when 2nd last start here. Osamu Shimohara is a bonus. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Goes very close. MEISHO SONIC (4) First up and brave effort to win narrowly by a nose first up last preparation at Himeji on a heavy track. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura rates highly. Among better hopes. POMME (1) Finished 7th last start here. Giving another chance here and returning to a longer distance. Shows good early pace. Gets the perfect alley. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. GO TO MIJOKA (2) Was first to greet the judge when winning by 1 3/4L last start here and will try to take advantage of the alley. Could work into the placings.
