Sonoda

GYARANDO (5) Was very impressive when winning by a margin of 4L last start at Himeji and form has been improving over recent runs. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is an asset. This field suits. FUSENO AURORA (2) Unimpressive effort when 10th last run here but stepping back up in distance. Should muster plenty of early toe. Has a good draw. Will be there at the finish. SMART EXCEED (3) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Himeji and showing improvement in recent outings. One in a race with many chances. LAYER (4) Finished 7th last run at this track but back to a longer distance. Likely to be well placed early. Capable of a running a place.
