Sonoda

SATONO RUFFIAN (6) Won by 2L last start at Himeji and ideal distance as proven previously. Won't be far away during the run. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is a plus. Has the ability to figure. BELLAGIO UMAMUSUKO (11) Average performance when 6th last start at Himeji and will be down in distance. Tatsuya Takemura takes the reins today. Exhibiting good form since returning from a spell. This field suits. TAGANO ESCORT (2) Made a mess of them when winning by 5L last start at Himeji and gets a favourable draw. Tomohiro Sasada and Masashi Atarashi are a formidable team. Genuine winning chance. SMILE SULFUR (7) Resumes after a spell. Right up there last time at this venue and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Worth consideration.
