Himeji Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
LILY HEART (4) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and another win looks on the cards. ENGELSPIEL (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SKY ACCEL (5) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. GALBANUM (1) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when third over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck. In the mix.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at this track on February 17 over 1400m, neck behind Dinner Rush with 57kg at $28.60. Before that ran on from midfield and won by a neck at this track January 28 over 1400m defeating Shishi carrying 57kg at $1.90. Solid prospects with a similar effort to last time.

Previously second-up 5th of 12 at this track on February 13 2025 over 1400m, 6 len behind Kichi Griffon carrying 54kg at $51.10. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again.
