Race 2 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. MONONOFUNO MICHI (1) ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 1400m at Himeji. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ORENO SUGOWAZA (8) ran a strong race last time when beaten a head into second over 1800m at Himeji. Can run well again and take this out. RARE GENIUS (3) was in contention on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at Himeji. The engagement of Osamu Shimohara is a positive move. Anticipating another big run. BUEI (5) was eighth in an 1800m contest at Himeji last time out. Best efforts measure up and worth another chance.
