Nicely placed to feature in the finish. EXPLORE BEST (4) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just four times from 65 starts.

Race 2 1400m
JERICOACOARA (7) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1500m at Himeji, making it two minor placings in a row. Should park just off the speed. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. MEISHO FIGARO (5) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CRESCO ROCKY (3) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 8 lengths. Is very effective at this distance with seven wins from 37 runs. Worth plenty of thought. COPANO JUMPING (1) was beaten 5 lengths into fifth in a 1400m contest at this track last time out. No surprise to see him in the frame. |

Race 3 1230m
A SHIN REEL (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 820m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. KAKUHEN (8) is a three-start maiden who was close to a win before a 12 weeks break, finishing off with a minor placing at this track. Has a tricky gate to overcome. Has ability and is a solid chance. A SHIN JIKOKUTEN (5) was in the money first up then met with strong support last time but could only manage fifth over 1400m at Himeji. Fitter and deserves another chance. GRAPHOS (9) was beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 800m at Himeji at his latest appearance. Capable of featuring prominently. |

Race 7 1400m
MEISHO MAGOICHI (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 5 lengths at today's track and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result.

Opened with a fourth at Himeji two starts back then got the job done by a neck last time out after being prominent at the corner over 1400m at this track.

Race 11 1400m
TAGANO ESCORT (2) scored an impressive win by 5 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1500m at Himeji. Fitter for that last hitout and he looks hard to stop again. SATONO RUFFIAN (6) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1400m at Himeji and proved too strong, scoring by 2 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and can go on with it. MYSTERY BOX (4) lines up for the first time since November 18. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Has to be respected. SMILE SULFUR (7) is back from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Was narrowly beaten at his only appearance when last in work at this track over 1400m.

Race 12 820m
KEY OF HEART (8) was prominent throughout last time when third over 800m at Himeji, making it back-to-back minor placings since returning from a spell. Overdue and gets her chance to break through. YOUNG BLOOD (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 820m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. IRON OVERCOME (3) is a four-year-old filly who is yet to fill a top-three spot in 15 starts. Failed to threaten when 9 lengths from the winner in seventh first up last start over 1230m at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. MY CHARGE (2) was beaten 2 lengths into fourth at the second run back from a break over 820m at this track three weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can atone. |
