Himeji Race 6 - Race 6 - 800
ANGLER (11) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 800m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. YAMANO GIFT (6) was prominent from the outset when fifth over 800m at this track last time out. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts her right in this. YOSHINO TARUMAE (5) is back at the races for the first time since October 17. Scored over 820m at Sonoda to launch the last campaign. Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. Makes plenty of appeal. EIRAKU (12) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was prominent at the bend before being beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 800m at this track. Fitter so watch for a better performance.

Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 10 at this track on February 12 over 1400m, 18 len behind Hiro Brave carrying 57kg at $2. The start before that settled back and ran on when 6th of 10 at this track on January 29 over 1400m, 11 len behind Akao carrying 57kg at $2.70. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.

Last start raced on the pace before fading 9th of 12 at Kochi on February 11 over 1300m, 16 len behind Three Rose carrying 55kg at $3.30. Before that didn't do much in the run home; 8th of 14 at Kawasaki on January 4 over 1400m, 10 len behind Olperer with 54kg at $4.40. Nice alley and worth including.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at this track on February 10 over 800m, 3 len behind Meisho Masatsura with 55kg at $3.90. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at this track on January 22 over 800m, 1.3 len behind Sand Empress with 55kg at $3.60. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.

When resuming last campaign 12th of 16 at Hanshin Dirt on April 13 over 1400m, 23 len behind Miyaji Mana with 52.0kg at $344.70. Unlikely to trouble the top few.

Second run back. First-up after four months 4th of 10 at this track on February 10 over 800m, 2.5 len behind Meisho Masatsura with 55kg at $13. Previously second-up second last of 9 at Sonoda on October 3 over 820m, 6 len behind Hinata Lady with 55kg at $6.30. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
