Himeji Race 11 - Race 11 - 800
DEAR TAIZAN (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Sonoda over 1230m. Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Can still play a major role. MEISHO SATOWA (9) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance three-and-a-half months ago over 820m at Sonoda. Expect him to feature fresh. TYLER TESORO (2) hasn't been able to break through for a while, the latest effort a tenth over 1230m at Sonoda. Placed to advantage and can run a better race. PUSH YOURSELF (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when tenth over 800m at this track. Can bounce back.

Last start 6th of 12 at this track on January 21 over 800m, 5 len behind Gold Bond carrying 53kg at $26.90. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Sonoda on January 2 over 820m, 2.5 len behind Lux Rampage with 53kg at $8.30. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.

Entire returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation by 2 len Sonoda November 5 over 820m defeating Serious Hitter carrying 57kg at $5.70. Previously first up; sixth of 12 at Sonoda September 26 over 820m, 1.5 len behind Serious Hitter carrying 58kg at $23.60. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
