Himeji Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400
A SHIN BILLBOARD (5) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when he scored by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and is the testing material. ASPIRACION (7) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when fourth, beaten 11 lengths. Deserves another chance. STAR OF ADAM (6) started at $2.80 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing ninth over 1800m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Can get into the right spot again. NISHINO MAGNOLIA (8) way always a long way back last time. Not winning off that off that effort but better than that and worth plenty of thought.

Most recently ran last of 12 at this track on February 25 over 1400m, 18 len behind Grand Live with 55kg at $59.40. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at this track February 5 over 1400m defeating Fudo Myo O carrying 55kg at $10.10. Form doesn't read well but she is a genuine chance.

Last start eased back early on 9th of 12 at this track on February 26 over 1800m, 17 len behind God Fencer carrying 56kg at $401.60. The race before that 4th of 9 at this track on February 3 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Bellma carrying 56kg at $19.90. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Recent form sound. Most recently came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on February 25 over 1400m, 8 len behind Grand Live carrying 56kg at $3.10. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on February 3 over 1400m, 3 len behind Bellma with 56kg at $2.40. Nice draw and worth thought.

Second-up. First-up after three months favourite; won by 6 len at this track February 19 over 1400m defeating Vip Luke with 57kg at $1.20. Previously second-up favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Monbetsu September 25 over 1000m defeating Dairin Pharaoh with 56kg at $1.20. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.

At the latest run sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 9 at this track on February 12 over 1800m, 13 len behind Comment Allezvous with 57kg at $2.80. The race before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a neck at this track January 28 over 1400m defeating Aloha Mau Loa with 56kg at $4.90. Capable of bouncing back.
