Himeji Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
SMART FREYJA (2) Ran well when 2nd last run at Sonoda and will try to take advantage of the alley. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Looks well placed. NAMURA PAPI (3) Nice run when 3rd last start at this venue. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Worth consideration. WILD TITAN (5) Ran 4th last start here but going up in distance. Don't disregard. MILLENNIUM LOVE (1) Ran 5th last start at this venue but returns to a longer distance. Will appreciate a good barrier. Will be around the mark at odds.
