Himeji Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
WAKINO ARIES (6) drifted back from her wide draw last time then hit the line hard to finish third at this track over 1400m. Will be a major player again. KRIS BERG (2) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish 6 lengths away in sixth at Sonoda. Should be doing best work late. TOMO COCOA (1) is a 23-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. T K VOGUE (9) drifted back and never threatened when tenth last start over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to bounce back.

Returns from a 29-day let-up. Last start 6th of 12 at Sonoda on January 13 over 1400m, 6 len behind Hagino Verdon with 55kg at $20.80. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Sonoda on December 31 over 1400m, 1.1 len behind Gentatsu carrying 55kg at $9.20. Drawn well and is among the chances.

Last start got back early 8th of 10 at this track on January 20 over 1400m, 8 len behind Bloom The Dream with 57kg at $131.20. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at Sonoda on January 7 over 1400m, 8 len behind Wisteria Daddy with 57kg at $26. Hard to recommend on recent form.

Most recently ran last of 10 at this track on January 20 over 1400m, 42 len behind Bloom The Dream with 56kg at $8.20. The start before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 12 at Sonoda on January 2 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Ultimo with 56kg at $126.20. Form doesn't read well but he is a genuine chance.
