Himeji Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
LILY HEART (8) has not raced since finishing eighth over 1230m at Sonoda on November 3. Looks a key runner fresh. OBEDIENT (5) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when sixth. Can improve here. SUSPENSE QUEEN (7) finished sixth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on January 21. Expected to feature in the finish this time. FESTIVE LUCINA (9) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on October 9, finishing sixth over 1230m at Sonoda. Among the better hopes.
