Himeji Race 8 - Race 8 - 1500
SIENA SKY (4) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. LA POUSSE D'OR (1) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for third, beaten 6 lengths. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HONKITO KAITE MAJI (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. VIP LUKE (7) turned in an eye-catching run over 1400m at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish second. Will be tough to stop again.
