Himeji Race 9

1400

Prize Money: $17,612

NANAN (1) started at $1.60 last time on the back of a win at Sonoda two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and in the mix. VALAR (9) made it two wins in a row last time out when she scored by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again. BESUPOJI (2) finished second over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Wataru Hirose is back on and has a solid record on the five-year-old, including two wins. Capable of running a bold race. LIVYATAN (3) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish ninth over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Expect a better run this time.

Most recently 5th of 12 at this track on January 20 over 1400m, 6 len behind Valar carrying 58kg at $1.60. The race before that favourite; won by 2.5 len at Sonoda December 25 over 1400m defeating Meisho Kaikon with 57kg at $2.50. Great chance to win with the aid of the inside draw.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. Most recently ran last of 12 at Sonoda on January 2 over 820m, 9 len behind Lux Rampage carrying 50kg at $524. Before that second last of 12 at Sonoda on December 23 over 1400m, 25 len behind Bellagio Gulf carrying 55kg at $360.30. Not keen on her prospects.

The run before that ran last of 12 at Sonoda on December 11 over 1400m, 22 len behind Allure Reve carrying 51kg at $287.40. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

First-up. Finished off last campaign second last of 8 at Sonoda September 18 over 1400m, 7 len behind Iza Green Light carrying 57kg at $62.80. Previous preparation first-up won by 0.8 len Sonoda December 25 2024 over 1400m defeating Derma Veda carrying 56kg at $2.30. Doesn't appeal.

Most recently 7th of 9 at this track on January 27 over 1800m, 7 len behind Bonne Nouvelle carrying 57kg at $7.70. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at this track on January 20 over 1400m, 10 len behind Valar carrying 57kg at $32.80. Sure to be about the money.
