Himeji Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
A SHIN RESUME (10) didn't fire over 2000m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Nicely placed to make amends. CROWD NOISE (8) showed good early dash and led for most of the way before fading to finish 3.5 lengths away in fourth over 1500m at this track. Will take catching again. VIRYA (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1600m at Kasamatsu after she was in the firing line on the corner. Has further improvement to come and is expected to do much better. SATONO RUFFIAN (6) returns from a spell of three months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 12th at Hanshin Dirt over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Far easier back in this grade.

At the latest run 6th of 9 at this track on February 17 over 1500m, 9 len behind Tagano Escort carrying 57kg at $5.10. The run before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 at Sonoda on December 30 over 1230m, head behind Lux Meteor carrying 57kg at $2.40. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.
