Himeji Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
ASAMESHIMAE (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was handy all the way over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MAGIC EMILIA (5) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Sonoda, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. SUMMER PARK (1) started at $3.10 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 10 lengths at this track over 800m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EL GRAN GOLAZO (6) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into fourth over 1500m at this track. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.

Having third race start. At big odds at debut, sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at Sonoda on December 30 over 820m, 0.7 len behind Shelly carrying 55kg at $48.70. Second-up 7th of 12 at this track on January 20 over 800m, 10 len behind Fingal's Cave with 56kg at $3.10. Sure to go well.

Racing well recently. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on January 28 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Star Of Adam with 54kg at $8.50. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at Sonoda on January 8 over 1400m, 4 len behind Bellagio Focus carrying 54kg at $50.30. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Second-up. First-up after two months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at this track on January 20 over 800m, 11 len behind La Reina De Oro carrying 55kg at $106.90. Previously second-up ran last of 9 at Sonoda on October 10 over 820m, 41 len behind Safranal with 54kg at $83.20. Unlikely to threaten.

At the latest run raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at Sonoda on January 15 over 1400m, 3 len behind Bellagiohidakabosi carrying 55kg at $9.60.
