Himeji Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
LION SELAS (2) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished second over this course and distance after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. RUGIADA (1) has not appeared since she finished sixth over 1600m at Kyoto on February 16 2025. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Satoshi Matsuura. Comes here with definite claims in a weaker grade. CHIEF IN THE SKY (5) was ridden quietly then made a little ground and finished sixth last time out over 800m at this track two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Strong top-three chance. KIRAKIRARI (4) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can keep improving.
