Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1870
TRANSCENDENCE (9) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1.5 lengths away in third over 1700m at this track. Sure to go well. RAY AND DANCE (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1700m. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LIGHT PILLAR (3) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth over 1700m at this track three weeks ago. This is a nice drop in grade so she is a major player. SMART PRECIOUS (5) strode forward early from her wide draw over 1700m at Kokura Dirt last time before fading to finish 13th. Worth including.

Second run back. First-up after two months raced on the pace before fading 13th of 16 at Kokura Dirt on June 28 over 1700m, 16 len behind Kalpa with 52.0kg at $14.10. Previously second-up 13th of 16 at Kokura Dirt on February 28 over 1700m, 9 len behind June Eos carrying 53.0kg at $14.30. Solid top-three hope.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently led but faded 3rd of 8 at this track on July 1 over 1700m, 1.5 len behind Iza Green Light with 58kg at $2. Before that won by 3.5 len at this track June 3 over 1870m defeating Madam Hawk with 56kg at $18.60. Plenty to like about his prospects.
