Himeji Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
HOKUZAN SIEG (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is sure to go well. DONALD POKER (2) was in the money two starts back at Sonoda then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1400m at this track. Sits handy in the run. Shapes as one of the top chances. LA POUSSE D'OR (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. HYPER CALL (6) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 13 lengths into sixth. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be thereabouts.

At the latest run favourite; won by 2.5 len at this track January 21 over 1400m defeating Sun And The Moon carrying 56kg at $1.50. The race before that 7th of 12 at Sonoda on December 18 over 1400m, 3 len behind Arabian D'oro with 55kg at $31.20. Confidence high so a repeat performance is on the cards.

Most recently didn't do much in the run home; 5th of 12 at this track on January 27 over 1400m, 8 len behind Aspiracion with 56kg at $6.10. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Sonoda on January 13 over 1400m, 2 len behind Like Sugar with 56kg at $4.90. Capable of more – worth another chance.
