Himeji

GOLD BOND (6) Won narrowly by a head last run at this venue and have to respect the form at the trip. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. SMART MACE (8) Found another gear when winning by 3 1/2L last run at this track and will be well suited at the distance. Carrying less weight this time. Must be considered. LUX RAMPAGE (4) Close to a win last start at this track. Definite claims. MEISHO SATOWA (3) Came in 4th last start here. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Has early speed and positions nicely. Can win this.
