Himeji Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
LA ROYALE (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.1 lengths. Well placed and can go on with it. BLEU VERT (8) finished fourth last time out over 800m at this track when first up from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Fitter and among the chances. NOT B ONE (7) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track three weeks ago. Will be rock-hard fit now and looks a strong place chance. FUKU MIAOLI (1) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1000m at Monbetsu. One to consider.
