Himeji Race 9 - Race 9 - 1800
HERNANDEZ (3) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a neck over 1800m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is capable of another big performance. WAKAMIYA ILIOS (2) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, scoring by 2 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and must be respected. XIAO XING YUN (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 3.5 lengths at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. GRAN GUERRERO (4) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1800m at this track. Well placed to figure prominently again.
