Himeji Race 2

1400

Prize Money: $10,888

JOTEI (2) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at Sonoda. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MONT THE SECOND (1) last appeared four weeks ago over 1500m at Kawasaki when he finished seventh. This is his first run for the Taro Nagashima stable. Should be thereabouts. FUKU HUALIEN (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1230m at Sonoda, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. This is a nice drop in grade so she is a major player. BELLAGIO KAMUY (3) was beaten 21 lengths into 12th at the second run back from a break in a 1400m contest at Sonoda at his latest appearance. Better than recent efforts suggest.
