Himeji Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
ALZARD (9) improved last time out to score by a neck as public elect over 1400m at this track. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. ULTIMO (7) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 1400m here after a win at Sonoda the start prior. Can give this a shake. PIECE D'ARGENT (3) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1400m here following a win at Sonoda at the previous outing. Can make amends. LILY PARK (1) missed the placings last start when ninth over 1500m at this track. Rates highly on best efforts and can do better this time.

Recent form sound. Last start favourite; won by a neck at this track February 4 over 1400m defeating Himarin carrying 57kg at $1.40. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Sonoda on January 7 over 1400m, head behind Rusk Miso carrying 56kg at $22.60. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.
