GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

The speedy Ater Knight should find the front with Riko Browning and Carry A Dream on his heels. ATER KNIGHT (1) held on well to finish second last start over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 0.8 lengths. He is in a suitable race and he can go one better this time. RIKO BROWNING (6) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 4 lengths at this track over 1400m. Will prove very tough to beat. QUANTUM LEAP (4) strode forward early from his wide draw to settle just off the lead last start then lifted to score by half a length at this track over 1400m. Tomohiro Yoshimura who has six wins when partnering stays on. One of the main contenders. NARITA DIARY (7) improved sharply last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Likely to be there at the finish again.

The start before that won by 1.75 len at Himeji February 8 over 1400m defeating So Mighty with 56kg at $1.40. Big chance to score after a near miss last start.
