Sonoda

LA VIE EN (3) Came in 6th last run here. Capable of a strong comeback and strong performer at the trip. Wataru Hirose has been successful previously. Underrated. VIRYA (8) Had a comfortable win by 4L last time here and suited at this distance historically. Proven performer on a heavy surface. Jockey Kenta Sugiura has been successful aboard previously. Looks to be value. AMAZING (1) Close to a win last start at Kochi and has the ideal draw. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Tracking very well this preparation. Will be competitive. GENYOSAI (7) Was competitive when 2nd last run at Kochi and will be well suited at the trip. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.
