Race 1 1400m
ACCORDANCE (5) went forward last start over 1400m at Himeji and held on well for second, beaten 2.5 lengths. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. KADOSAN GAMBARU (3) raced below his best last time when seventh over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 3 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DREAM CHASER (4) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1400m at Himeji. Expected to improve sharply. DAISHICHISEI (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter so watch for a better performance. |

Race 2 1400m
NINKARI (1) finished 2 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1400m at Himeji, an improvement on her ninth at Himeji the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. A SHIN MACHINE (4) has not appeared since she finished sixth over 1400m at this track on November 5. Rates highly and should take some beating. JUN ODR (2) finished fourth over 1800m at Saga at his most recent appearance on December 7. Among the better hopes. MEISHO SETSUGETSU (9) failed to make an impression last time out, settling well back and finishing 12th over 800m at Himeji. Leading prospect on best form. |

Race 3 1400m
PADME (1) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at Himeji. Proving a good combination with Tomohiro Yoshimura with four straight placings. Bold showing expected. MEISHO SHIBUKI (3) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by one length when resuming last time out over 1400m at Himeji. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. LITTLE GIRL BLUE (10) settled well back from the inside draw last start before coming home nicely to finish 1.3 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at Himeji. One to watch for in the closing stages.

Race 4 1400m
LA LA VANILLE (12) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish third over 800m at Himeji after showing good early speed. Likely improver with bright prospects.

FULL LIMIT (4) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at Himeji. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COMPLEX (9) is yet to break through after six starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1400m at Himeji. Will drift back but wind up late. Can feature with the right run. |

AUSSENSEITER (11) led throughout last start to score an effortless 5 lengths win over 800m at Himeji. Will prove very tough to beat. SEI BROCKEN (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a neck over 800m at Himeji. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. MOSHO (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 15 lengths into fifth after being prominent at the turn. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. DIANA ZELOS (12) lifted strongly to score two runs back then was prominent in the run last time before finishing seventh over 800m at Himeji.

Race 6 820m
HIRO SHIGE SUNRISE (3) was a gutsy winner last time over 800m at Himeji, scoring by 1.3 lengths to make it two wins on the bounce. Top chance again. ANGLER (1) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a third at Himeji over 800m. Great chance to finally return to the winners' circle. HAMBURG HAMMER (9) performed above expectations last time over 800m at Himeji, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Should park just off the speed.

Race 11 1700m
DIA GRAF (6) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 3.5 lengths over 1500m at Himeji. Has a solid second-up record and he looks hard to stop again.
