Himeji Race 10 - Race 10 - 1800
A CHAN (8) scored a barnstorming win last start over 1230m at Sonoda, coming from the tail to get up by a neck. Comes here in the right frame of mind so another big run is on the cards. STAR OF ADAM (6) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Shaping up nicely and he is worth including. COMMENT ALLEZVOUS (2) proved too strong two runs ago at Sonoda but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so she can return to the winners' list. BRIGHT ROSE (5) did well last start but found one better over 1500m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Sure to run well.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 4th of 12 at this track on January 22 over 1400m, 4 len behind June Kiitos with 55kg at $17.40. The start before that won by a neck at Sonoda December 18 over 1400m defeating Bellagio Focus with 54kg at $7. Likely to play a big role.

Most recently got back early 8th of 10 at this track on January 29 over 1500m, 14 len behind Star Eye Seira carrying 57kg at $69.70. The run before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 11 at Sonoda on January 8 over 1400m, neck behind Minowa with 56kg at $11.20. Needs plenty of luck.
