Himeji Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400

CHERRY RUSSIAN (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth starting at $9.50. Wataru Hirose gets the best out of this six-year-old entire. Sure to run well. SHORT STOP (2) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently when second over 1500m at this track. Expect another big run. SHANA O (8) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1500m here. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEINER ALAUDA (4) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when sixth over 1500m at this track. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
