Himeji Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
LET'S GO ASK (6) last raced when successful by a head over 1400m at Sonoda three-and-a-half months ago. Sure to make her presence felt. SHINE CHOUCHOU (7) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1400m. Ready to go one better. SHISHI (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only a neck after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SMALT (9) finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter for that run. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.

Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 10 at this track on February 11 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Evgenes with 57kg at $126.80. The start before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on January 22 over 1400m, 5 len behind Hiiragi with 57kg at $16.90. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Most recently second last of 10 at this track on February 3 over 1400m, 12 len behind Smart Saturn with 57kg at $9.70. Before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 12 at Sonoda on January 15 over 1400m, 4 len behind Copano Alber with 57kg at $16.60. Doesn't pose too much of a threat.
