Urawa Japan B1

Prize Money: $71,991

LA BRIAGE (2) was in a different class last time when a dominant 4 lengths winner over 1400m at this track, adding to her fine recent form. Looks very tough to beat again. TEA FIVE (8) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on August 6 finishing 12th and beaten 8 lengths over 1500m at Kawasaki. Has a superb record here at the journey with three wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. A bold showing is likely. SPARTA LEONIDAS (10) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1500m at this track but wasn't all that far from the winner. Second-up record is strong. Has a strong record at this course, scoring five times from nine starts. One of the contenders. BIG SHOW TIME (9) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1400m here last time. Well placed and is among the chances.

Recent form sound. Most recently favourite; scored a big 4 len win at this track October 25 over 1400m defeating Ken Kiitos carrying 54kg at $1.50. The run before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Funabashi on September 24 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Seidelbast with 53kg at $7.60. Great chance to win again.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 8th of 10 at Funabashi on September 27 over 1600m, 12 len behind Verte Marin with 57kg at $12.20. Second run from a spell 9th of 14 at Funabashi on November 1 over 1600m, 6 len behind Lovely View with 55kg at $53.40. Hard to envisage a win today.
