Himeji

ENA ANIMAL (4) Secured the win by a slim margin last run at Sonoda. Can't knock the form winning 2 in a row. Can give this a shake. ANTHRACITE (3) Close to claiming the win last start at Sonoda and getting better in recent performances. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is an asset. Underrated. LIGHT PILLAR (5) Brave effort to win narrowly by a nose last run at Sonoda. Won last 3 on the trot. Has a great burst of speed late. Goes close. A SHIN ANIMO (9) Competed in a tight contest last run at Sonoda. Komaki Futoshi and Nobuharu Morimoto are usually competitive together. Should muster plenty of early speed. Can go on with it.
