Himeji Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
DAIBOKEN (3) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three placings. Kenta Sugiura who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. ARC RIOSO (6) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1400m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. RAMBOSHI (8) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by a neck over 1400m at this track. Generally runs well second-up and he is a major player again. EVGENES (2) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better effort. Looks well placed so expect another big run.

At the latest run raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at this track on February 17 over 1500m, 5 len behind Injection with 56kg at $49.10.
