Himeji Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
YOSHINO RICKEY (7) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. YUBAE (10) started favourite last time but found one better over 800m at this track. Will appreciate the extra ground. Worth another chance. KEY CLASSIC (1) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1400m at this track after he was in the firing line on the bend. Will strip fitter and looks the main danger. LYNDA (2) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when she was in the firing line on the turn before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on February 17 over 1400m, 8 len behind Cut Back carrying 57kg at $20.80. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at this track on January 28 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Meisho Ten Ten carrying 57kg at $2. This is well within his grasp.

At the latest run raced on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 10 at this track on February 12 over 1400m, 11 len behind Gaspard carrying 57kg at $21.70. The race before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on January 29 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Quantum Leap carrying 57kg at $7.90. Might just find this lot a bit smart.
