Himeji Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
AMORE SUNRISE (10) finished third two runs back at Sonoda then improved last time out to score by 2.5 lengths as public elect over 1400m at this track. F Komaki scored on her last time and retains the mount. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. OLIVIA SUNRISE (5) is back from a spell of four months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1700m at Sonoda. Sure to make her presence felt. AKAO (8) was a dominant winner last time over 1400m at this track, drifting well back but unleashing late to run away with a 5 length win. Among the chances again. COPANO JUMPING (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths into fifth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at Sonoda on January 14 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Safari carrying 57kg at $45. Capable of a big finish so don't write him off.
