Himeji Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
SHINE CHOUCHOU (3) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1400m at Sonoda. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. YUINO OTOSHIANA (2) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HERMANITO (4) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Sonoda. Has to be respected. PELLESTRINA (1) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
