Comments

Had every chance at Kawasaki last start but found little when eighth behind Dantalion, beaten over 10 lengths despite being near the top of an open market. The prior sixth at Urawa was more respectable, beaten just over four lengths by Smile Thrive, but she is unplaced in six starts at this distance. The inside draw helps only if she shows a sharper finish than recent evidence suggests.

Comments

Settled handy at Kawasaki last start and held on for fifth behind Ari Happy, beaten four and a half lengths at generous odds, without finding the change of gear required. Her previous Urawa run over 800m in 3yo+ C1C2 was more encouraging late, charging home after being well back. The distance remains a query, but her past-year consistency gives her a realistic minor-money profile.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after a narrow Urawa second in 3yo COND company, beaten a head by G T Pudding when near the top of an open market. He had also placed at Kawasaki the start prior, though he was unable to sustain a prominent run late. His track-and-distance record is a positive, but first-up at this level he still needs to lift a shade to trouble the better chances.

Comments

Kept on without threatening over 900m at Kawasaki last start, finishing sixth behind Candy Bouquet and beaten just over eight lengths at long odds. That followed a last placing behind Takka Valiant, beaten over 11 lengths after failing to launch any serious challenge. She is unplaced in three attempts at this track and distance, so recent form makes this a stern assignment.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after winning a 3yo+ C2 at Urawa by four lengths as the odds-on favourite, travelling into it and putting the race away strongly. She had been safely held by Azukichan here the run prior, but the latest effort was a clear rebound. With a strong overall record and proven Urawa form, she presents as one of the main winning chances again.

Worked home well for second at Kawasaki last start, beaten a length and a half by Smart Laster after starting near the top of an open market. Her previous eighth behind Hiroki was only fair, but she has produced two wins and six places from 13 starts in the past 12 months, which underlines her reliability. First look at Urawa is the unknown, though her latest run puts her in the mix.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening third-up after a fair Urawa fifth behind Smile Thrive, beaten three and a half lengths while unwanted in the market. That was a better effort than her second-last in 3yo COND grade behind Ashaka Lucca, where she made no impression from well back. A previous track-and-distance win gives some hope, but she must find more authority late.

Comments

Was second last at Funabashi over 1200m last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Mel Dore at big odds, and there was no sign of a late response. Her previous Urawa seventh over 800m in 3yo+ B3C1 was also only fair after starting at long odds. She does have a track-and-distance win in the book, but current form leaves her with plenty to repair.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a Kawasaki seventh behind Quite Possible, beaten two and a half lengths as the odds-on favourite when never a winning hope but not stopping badly. Two back he beat Maru Mori Active at Kawasaki by a length after producing a neat turn of foot. With three wins and one placing from five starts at this distance, he has the class profile to run very well fresh.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after a fair sixth in 3yo+ COND grade at Saga, beaten seven and a half lengths by Lux Mendes at long odds. Her previous second to Felsite, beaten a length and a half, reads better, but both recent runs came away from Urawa. She has a win and two places from eight starts at the distance, though others arrive with stronger local claims.

Comments

Returns from a six-week let-up in excellent form, having won a 3yo+ C2 at Urawa by four lengths as the well-supported favourite. He had also scored here the start prior, beating Sahara Flavor by a neck at a bigger price, so the improvement has been sustained. His three wins from four starts at this track and distance make him a major threat, even from the wider draw.

Returns from a six-week let-up second-up after closing strongly for fourth behind Dancing Rascal at Urawa, beaten just over six lengths in a 3yo+ C2. The margin says she has ground to make up, but the finish was better than the result alone. She had worked home fairly here two back and has placed three times from six at this track and distance, making her a solid place hope.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after a close Urawa second in 3yo COND grade, beaten half a length by Dream Fighter as favourite. His previous Funabashi sixth over 1600m was sound enough without threatening, and he comes back to a far more suitable track-and-distance profile. Two wins and one place from three starts over this course and trip keep him firmly in the exotics.
