Himeji Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
CRIMSON RED (9) just missed last time when a nose away in second at this track over 1400m. Leading chance. GRANDE DIVA (8) opened this prep last start with a second, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Looms large. RE GO TO (1) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only a head after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. PUFF OF WIND (3) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 6 lengths. Placed to advantage and can take this out.
