Himeji Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
A SHIN WHIP (2) resumed last time out and finished second over 1400m at this track. Should be in the finish. TAGANO TETSU (1) ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. AIYANA (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Change of rider to Teppei Kotani who has two wins when aboard. Has winning claims on best figures. GLORIOUS APOI (3) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this journey and is in the mix.

Comes off a 51 day let-up. Last start 4th of 10 at this track on January 20 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Wonder Bling with 57kg at $4.50. The run before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Sonoda on December 11 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Windy Palace with 57kg at $3. Doesn't need to improve that much.
