Himeji Race 11 - Race 11 - 1800

MEISHO SHIMATO (5) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished sixth when fresh from a spell two starts back then improved and scored over 1700m at Sonoda three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a head. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. RESSORTIR (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 1700m at Sonoda. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SERAPHINITE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Nakayama. Beautifully placed and in the mix. SINGING ROAD (3) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1600m at Kochi. Has switched to the Yoshimi Masayuki stable. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
