Himeji Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
NUMBER THEORY (5) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1400m, only beaten 0.8 lengths. Cherry-ripe now and ready to win. CONTI BANQUET (1) is a 10-start maiden who finished eighth at her most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. SIENA SKY (9) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Sonoda. Has ability and is a leading player. HONKITO KAITE MAJI (6) finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track after he was well back on straightening. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at Sonoda on December 29 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Craze Cinema carrying 55kg at $4.30. Last start 2nd of 12 at this track on January 27 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Aspiracion with 56kg at $1.60. Definite winning chance.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last campaign second of 9 at Sonoda September 26 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Zeus Silhouette carrying 54kg at $2.90. On debut second in a small field at Sonoda July 4 over 1400m, 8 len behind God Fencer with 53kg at $18.20. Should be right in the finish.
