Himeji Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
BLOOM THE DREAM (8) Gave them a lesson when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last start at the track. Jockey Wataru Hirose and trainer Tarou Nagashima must be respected as a team. Worth strong consideration. LION SELAS (7) Ran 4th last run at Sonoda. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Will give a big sight. TAPUCHAN (9) Solid effort when winning by 3/4L last start at Sonoda. Good each way value for punters. SMART SELAM (2) Won by a big margin of 5L last time at Sonoda and gets a favourable alley. Looks a great place bet.
