Himeji Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
MADAM IGRAINE (6) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Sonoda three-and-a-half months ago. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts her right in this. APOLLO PHANTOM (3) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 0.8 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. RENGANO KOBUTASAN (1) settled well back from a good draw last time before getting home nicely to finish fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three hope. MEISHO FIGARO (5) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths when well supported. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will be doing his best work late.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 10 at this track on February 3 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Economica with 55kg at $129.20. The start before that 4th of 10 at this track on January 21 over 1400m, 10 len behind Leo Brillant carrying 55kg at $182.50. Solid prospects and a good gate doesn't hurt.

The start before that came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Sonoda on January 14 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Y Y Warrior carrying 57kg at $2.20. Not a bad effort last time and is open to improvement.

Is first-up after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign second of 10 at Sonoda November 12 over 1400m, a neck behind Earth Grazer carrying 55kg at $3.30. When resuming last campaign second of 16 at Chukyo Dirt July 27 over 1200m, a nose behind Meisho Satonohi carrying 54.0kg at $6.80. Look for a bold run.
