Himeji Race 6

1400

Prize Money: $10,567

ASK SUSTAINABLE (7) finished eighth last time out over 800m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. OKEN FIGHTER (2) is back from a three-and-a-half-month spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1400m at Sonoda at the start of last prep. Winning chance while fresh. MEME NISHIKORI (10) hasn't been able to break through for a while, the latest effort a fourth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and in the mix. TAIIKUSUWARI (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on November 3, finishing 11th over 1230m at Sonoda. Best form gives him a decent chance.

Comes off a 48 day let-up. Last start 6th of 12 at Sonoda on January 2 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Ultimo carrying 53kg at $21.10. The race before that 5th of 10 at Sonoda on December 16 over 1400m, 6 len behind Air Zakynthos carrying 55kg at $5.50. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 12 at this track on February 3 over 800m, 8 len behind Chutchu Ppoppo with 57kg at $15.70. Before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 at Sonoda on January 13 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Kafuji Uva carrying 57kg at $4.60. Worth another chance.

At the latest run 5th of 10 at this track on January 28 over 1400m, 6 len behind Meisho Ten Ten with 53kg at $30.20. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Sonoda on January 8 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Grand Forest carrying 53kg at $77.50. Hard to recommend on recent form.
