Looks a decent tempo with Smart Venus, Meisho Shibuki and Padme leading the charge. 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. NARITA BONNY (6) was safely held when third last time out over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at Himeji at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
