Himeji Race 4

1400

Prize Money: $12,938

ERIKA VERONA (4) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 1400m at Sonoda three weeks ago. Can measure up again. REVE ESPOIR (9) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1400m at Sonoda. Winning rider Wataru Hirose stays aboard and she is definitely worth including. FIRM LOVE (8) got the prize two runs ago at Sonoda. Less impressive last time out when eighth over 1400m at Sonoda, beaten 13 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. STARRY SONG (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Sonoda, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Better than recent efforts suggest.

Useful type. Most recently 7th of 10 at Sonoda on December 30 over 1400m, 6 len behind Namura Olivia carrying 54kg at $8.40. Before that 10th of 12 at Sonoda on December 4 over 1400m, 10 len behind Scarlet Honey carrying 51kg at $8. Chances enhanced by drawing a nice marble.
