Himeji Race 9 - Race 9 - 1800
PLEASANT HARBOR (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.5 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. EL GRAN GOLAZO (6) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Tomohiro Yoshimura sticks and he cannot be underestimated. MAGIC EMILIA (1) is close to breaking through following a narrow defeat last time over 1400m at this track. Expected to run well again. BRIGHT ROSE (7) recorded his maiden win four back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when third at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the better hopes.

Form hard to fault. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on February 11 over 1400m, neck behind El Gran Golazo with 55kg at $4. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Sonoda on January 15 over 1400m, 3 len behind Bellagiohidakabosi with 55kg at $9.60. Working up to a win. Worth following.
