Himeji Race 2 - Race 2 - 1500
GUTI (1) encouraging first-up run when third at this track over 1500m on February 27. Fitter for that run and could be tough to beat. COLLEGIUM (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. JERICOACOARA (2) finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. NORI WOOD TAIL (3) was ninth over 1800m at this track at her latest appearance. Better than recent efforts suggest and is well placed here.
