Urawa Race 6

Urawa Japan C3

Prize Money: $14,090

EMINENT CAREER (1) is returning from a spell of ten weeks. Finished eighth at Sapporo over 1500m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Tomoyuki Fujihara. Rates highly and can return in winning form. G T SWAT (7) returns from a spell of ten weeks and did win first-up last time in work over 1500m at Nagoya. Winning chance while fresh. KASUKANA NOZOMI (8) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1300m here. Big chance to break through. DIR BRAND (9) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1300m at this track. Likely improver so plenty to like about his chances.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 50-day let-up. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on January 9 over 1300m, 3 len behind G T Amour carrying 54kg at $45. The race before that 3rd of 8 at Kasamatsu on November 28 over 1400m, 3 len behind Tsurugitoishizuchi carrying 55kg at $33.50. Nice effort last time. Can go on with the job now.

Returns from a 50-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at this track on January 9 over 1300m, 7 len behind G T Amour carrying 56kg at $7.90. The start before that eased back early on 7th of 11 at Mizusawa on December 1 over 1600m, 10 len behind Biscuit Marie with 56kg at $6. Genuine hope on best form.
