Himeji Race 7 - Race 7 - 800

SMART MACE (1) reunites with S Kawahara after scoring with ease over 800m at this track last time. Major player. NISHINO HINAARARE (2) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest fifth at this track over 1400m. Rates highly on best figures. MEISHO SATOWA (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth over 800m at this track. Cherry-ripe now and can turn things around. TRINITY KNOT (3) made progress last time out, finishing second over 800m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
