Himeji Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
MIRACLE ACE (5) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Sonoda. Looks the one to beat. WONDER BISCUIT (6) ran a nice race when resuming from a spell last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third. Likely improver. ANEMOS ELPIDA (3) didn't feature last start when eighth over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up and look for an improved run. MAESTRO LIGHT (1) was never really in the hunt last time, drifting back early and winding up 5.5 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1400m at Sonoda. Leading prospect on best form.

Returns from a 50-day let-up. At the latest run sat on the pace before fading second last of 10 at this track on January 20 over 1400m, 12 len behind Bloom The Dream carrying 55kg at $121.20. The run before that second last of 12 at Sonoda on January 2 over 820m, 6 len behind Yamaichi Lovely carrying 55kg at $86. Nice draw and worth thought.
