Himeji Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
ACCORDANCE (2) finished fourth last time out as favourite over 1230m at Sonoda, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will prove tough to stop. VARIO (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.75 lengths away in third over 1400m at Sonoda. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DAZZLING ICE (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Sonoda over 1400m after being prominent at the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. FOREWIND (5) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 1400m at Sonoda, beaten 6 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.

At the latest run 9th of 12 at Sonoda on January 14 over 1400m, 10 len behind Daigo Ryujin carrying 55kg at $8.20. The start before that came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Sonoda on December 18 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Rebecca Rainbow carrying 55kg at $1.90. Chances enhanced by drawing a nice marble.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 12 at Sonoda on January 3 over 1230m, 2.5 len behind Natural carrying 55kg at $2.90. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Sonoda on December 23 over 1230m, 2.5 len behind Mononofuno Michi carrying 55kg at $3.70. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Most recently raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at Sonoda on December 31 over 1400m, 7 len behind Suehiro Inazuma with 57kg at $10.10. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Sonoda on December 10 over 1400m, 5 len behind Kyowa Gloria carrying 57kg at $2.10. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Most recently 3rd of 12 at Sonoda on January 2 over 1400m, 6 len behind True Knight with 57kg at $4.60. The run before that raced on the pace before fading ran last of 10 at Sonoda on December 9 over 1400m, 20 len behind Grun Wald carrying 56kg at $3.30. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.
