Himeji Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
CUT BACK (9) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Record at this trip is excellent and looks sure to be in the finish again. BRADSHAW (8) used the rails draw to good effect last start, bouncing straight to the lead and scoring an all-the-way win over 1400m at this track. One of the top chances again. COUPERIN (1) last appeared when he finished second over 1300m at Kochi on December 6. Has switched to the Yoshimi Masayuki stable. Comes here with definite top-three claims. LEO BRILLANT (4) was easily accounted for when sixth last start, after a good first-up win at this track. In the mix.

Second-up. First-up after nine months favourite; came from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at this track February 17 over 1400m defeating Puff Of Wind with 57kg at $2. Previously second-up favourite; won by 0.8 len at Sonoda April 22 over 1400m defeating True Knight with 56kg at $1.10. Another win looks on the cards. Improver with winning prospects.
