Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
ARCHAIC (5) comes off two consecutive 4th placings at Sonoda over 1400m, most recently beaten 6.25L on soft ground, and drops 1kg here. BEST MARIA (4) was 2nd at Himeji over 1400m three starts back and has since finished midfield at Sonoda. MJUK LUNON (8) also finished 4th at Sonoda last start, beaten 21.75L. TAISHIN (3) has been around the mark with a 5th and 4th at Himeji over this trip earlier in the year. These runners look the most likely to feature based on recent efforts.
