Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
TRANSCENDENTAL (2) started at $4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh at this track over 1400m. Best figures measure up and is well placed to feature. JOY BLACK (7) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when sixth. Has her share of ability and finds a suitable race. RENGANO KOBUTASAN (8) has been out of the money in recent runs including last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Capable of sharp improvement. IN THE SKY (5) battled last start to finish ninth over 1400m at this track, adding to a sequence of plain results. Well placed and can do much better.
