Himeji Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
WAKINO ARIES (4) changes rider since being well held last time in sixth over 1400m at this track on February 11. Forgive the last run and worth following up. MEISHO KUMOJI (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Has ability and looks one of the major players in this suitable race. TOKINO KELLY (5) finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Fitter and can go a couple better. DIVIN CADEAU (7) finished seventh at his most recent appearance over 1400m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.

At the latest run couldn't go on with it; 6th of 10 at this track on February 19 over 1400m, 8 len behind Meisho Pisukari carrying 51kg at $9. The start before that led but faded 3rd of 10 at this track on February 3 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Ramboshi with 51kg at $24. Draws the fence and looks a genuine chance.
