Himeji Race 10 - Race 10 - 1500
ELFIE DANCE (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 1400m at this track. Better placed and can play a major role. MARUKA BONHEUR (8) resumes after a break of three months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 820m at Sonoda. Sure to make his presence felt. GAMILA'S RABAUL (10) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Sonoda. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. CRAZE CINEMA (11) launched his career with a win then was not as effective last time out when sixth. In contention this time.
