Himeji Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
YUNA PINK GOLD (4) Just missed last time at Sonoda. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. KAKOGAN (5) First up today. Not up to scratch when 10th last run at Sonoda. Should be swooping on the field late. Masashi Atarashi stable are running hot lately. Could be value. WAKINO FLASH (10) First up after a break. Came in 5th last run at Sonoda. Kenta Sugiura rates highly aboard. Consider an each way bet. SATIN BODICE (2) Ran well when 3rd last time at this venue and drawn nicely. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Can threaten if right today.
