Himeji Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
ANNINA (8) Below expectations when 9th last start at Sonoda. Overlooking the last run. One of the top hopes. SEIUN SUPERIOR (2) Finished 4th last time at Sonoda. Capable of a strong comeback and has a good draw. Expected to be flashing home. Key player. CHO KANSEI (7) Finished 5th last start at Sonoda. Looking for an improved run. Possesses good finishing speed. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . GRAND THEMIS (5) Ran 6th last start at Sonoda. Will be hitting the line strongly. Could be value.
