Himeji Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
LAMBEAU LEAP (5) ran well below his best last time over 1400m at this track when finishing fourth at $2.20. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expected to be in the finish. MOISTURE (9) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1400m at this track, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Finds another suitable race and can make it a hat-trick. HATSUNAGI (10) showed early speed from a good draw and led until entering the straight when first-up from a break last start, eventually holding on for third over 1400m at this track. Expected to feature again. GO TO MIJOKA (2) continues to improve and should be at her peak now after finishing in the money at this track over 1400m last time. Big chance to shed the maiden tag.
