Himeji Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
ARC RIOSO (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and looks one of the key runners. KEIAI MANUKA (1) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Fitter and sure to run well. DAZZLING ICE (2) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. VARIO (4) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fifth over 1400m at this track last start. In the mix.
