Himeji Race 4 - Race 4 - 800
WELCOME KIRISHIMA (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 820m at Sonoda, beaten 2.5 lengths into seventh. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NISHINO MIGNONNE (3) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in fifth over 820m at Sonoda. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. HO O SIX (4) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 820m at Sonoda, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MADAM LADYBUG (9) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 820m at Sonoda, beaten 3 lengths into seventh. Well placed to bounce back.
