Himeji Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
ASK VUE REVE MORE (8) First up and won narrowly first up last preparation at Sonoda. Should jump out and bowl along. Tomohiro Yoshimura is very comfortable aboard and strong form at the distance. Live winning chance. CHERRY TIME (6) Lacklustre showing when 7th last run at Sonoda. Has the ability to take this out. IT'S MY BUSINESS (10) Finished 4th last time at Sonoda. Has the ability to turn things around. Expected to be flashing home. In top form this campaign. Goes close. AMMODO (2) Placed 3rd last time at Sonoda and will try to take advantage of the alley. Will be motoring home late. On an upward trajectory in recent races. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope.

Third-up today. Resuming settled back and ran on when 7th of 10 at Sonoda on December 25 over 820m, 9 len behind God Amavel with 53kg at $20.10. Second run from a spell ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Sonoda on January 13 over 1400m, 5 len behind Meteo Rena carrying 55kg at $53.10. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.
