GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Shishi taking charge. SHISHI (10) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.2 lengths away in third over 1400m at Himeji. Likely to press forward from wide out. Strong prospects. WONDER CUIRASSE (9) finished sixth at his most recent appearance over 1400m at Himeji. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. JOY BLACK (1) finished eighth last time at Himeji in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. FACE NINE (3) improved last start to finish second over 1400m at Himeji. Another forward showing is anticipated.
