Sonoda

NAMURA BUNCHY (1) First up after a 40 week break. Finished 5th last start here. Has the potential to improve sharply and can save some energy from the alley. Capable of taking this out. HIGH RESILIENCE (3) Tidy run when 2nd last run here. Wataru Hirose is a bonus. Can take this out. RESPLENDOR (6) Won narrowly last time around here and getting better in recent performances. Has shown early pace in races to date. Contender in this event. BESUPOJI (7) Honest race when 2nd last run here on a heavy surface. Komaki Futoshi and Norio Tanaka have a good working relationship. Betting may be best guide to the chances and each way is the likely play.
