Himeji Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
MIND YOUR RHYTHM (2) finished seventh last time out over 800m at this track two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Fitter and a top hope. A SHIN CHARMANT (3) got a long way back when ninth over 1400m at this track last start. Finds a suitable race and can measure up. ORENO SUGOWAZA (5) settled well back from a good draw last time before getting home nicely to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and is among the chances. NAVIGATOR (9) was below his best last time, finishing tenth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
