Himeji Race 10

1500

Stake: $30,645

A SHIN ANIMO (10) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 1800m at this track. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. F Komaki who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to run well. DONDENGAESHI (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1800m at this track after being in contention on the turn. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. MUKIZU (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 4 lengths, over 1800m at this track. Has found the frame in all three starts at this journey, including three wins. Should park just off the speed. Winning claims on best figures. MELISSA SUNRISE (9) turned in another moderate effort last start when 11 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1870m at Sonoda. Capable of featuring prominently.

Recent form sound. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at this track on January 29 over 1800m, 4 len behind Light Pillar carrying 58kg at $5.10. Before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 9 at Sonoda on December 24 over 1700m, 4 len behind A Shin Leo with 57kg at $15. Should be right in the finish.
