Himeji Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
COMPLEX (3) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Well-placed and is going to prove tough to run down. SKY NO HARU (2) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. A SHIN JIKOKUTEN (11) is returning from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Finished fifth at Monbetsu over 1000m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Kazuya Sakamoto. Can make his presence felt. QUEEN ARTHUR (1) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Improver worth including.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on February 12 over 1400m, 4 len behind Sky No Haru carrying 55kg at $60.30. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to be opening her account.
