Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1870

LIGHT PILLAR (6) Came in 5th last time at Morioka. Happy to forgive that run and have to respect the form at the trip. Toyokazu Tano is very comfortable aboard. Solid claims. DIA GRAF (7) Chimed in with a win by 2L last start around here. Will be hitting the line strongly. Komaki Futoshi has been successful before. Will give a big sight. RAY AND DANCE (2) Close up last time at this venue and will try to take advantage of the alley. Amongst the placegetters multiple times this preparation. Genuine winning chance. HOKUZAN GOLD (4) Honest race when 2nd last start here. Should jump out and bowl along. Winning hope.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 42 day let-up. Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at this track on August 13 over 1870m, 0.5 len behind Namura Jimmy carrying 58kg at $3.90. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.5 len at this track on July 23 over 1700m defeating Moon Rey De O with 56kg at $44.50. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again.
