Himeji Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
LANCE OF VENUS (4) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1400m at this track then fought on gamely to finish second. Meets a stronger field but she is capable of another big run. SMART SATURN (6) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when third. Worth another chance. MEISHO PISUKARI (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 2 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. SMART VENUS (5) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1400m at this track only to fade late and finish fourth. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track on February 10 over 1400m, 4 len behind A P Poetess carrying 55kg at $5.70. The race before that did the work up front then tired 6th of 10 at this track on January 27 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Wispy Snow carrying 55kg at $12.40. Genuine hope on best form.

Third-up today. Resuming favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at this track February 3 over 1400m defeating A Shin Okikurmi with 57kg at $1.60. Second-up rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 10 at this track on February 18 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Meisho Ten Ten carrying 57kg at $2. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
