Himeji Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
WONDER BLING (6) is in top form with seven wins on end, the latest by a neck over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Has a formidable combination with F Komaki who has been aboard for his last seven wins. Major player. NISHINO HINAARARE (9) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Anticipating sharp improvement. KIMON GAME (5) finished out of the money when sixth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Comes here with definite claims. GREEN THEATER (4) did well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Sonoda but raced below expectations last time over 1800m at this track, finishing eighth. Best figures measure up and has solid top-three prospects here.
