Himeji Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
SEIUN SUPERIOR (2) finished just 0.7 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1400m at Sonoda. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. MAESTRO LIGHT (4) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing seventh over 1400m at Sonoda. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. GRAND THEMIS (5) finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in sixth last start over 1400m at Sonoda. Finds a nice race and deserves another chance. MEME NISHIKORI (9) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at Sonoda. Comes here with definite claims.
