Himeji Race 11 - Race 11 - 1800

WINDY PALACE (2) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1400m at this track last start to make it three straight. Impossible to knock the form and will go well again. BELLAGIO UMAMUSUKO (5) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold third. In the right race and is one of the key threats. NIHONPIRO HARBOR (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1800m at this track. Well placed and is expected to make presence felt. ALL PARFAIT (3) best of the rest.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; won by a nose at this track February 4 over 1400m defeating A Shin Harrier carrying 59kg at $1.60. The run before that favourite; won by 2.5 len at Sonoda January 8 over 1400m defeating Vuela Fuerte carrying 58kg at $1.40. Can take this out.
