Himeji Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
HIIRAGI (4) turned things around last start and got the job done by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but she is up to the task. SKY ACCEL (7) won her maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 0.8 lengths. Winning rider Daichi Matsuki sticks and she is one of the main chances. COCOLI CALEDONIAN (10) proved too strong last start and scored by one length over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this track with two wins and two minor placings. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will give backers a great sight. A P POETESS (1) drifted well back before winding up strongly to score an effortless 3 lengths win over 1400m at Sonoda last time out. Winning rider Yamamotoya Taizo sticks. Among the top-three hopes.

Most recently was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 3 len at Sonoda January 13 over 1400m defeating Lance Of Venus carrying 55kg at $5.80. The race before that 9th of 11 at Sonoda on December 18 over 1400m, 3 len behind Tenku World carrying 55kg at $5. Broke maiden status last time and is worthy of consideration.
