URAWA   22 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Even tempo with A Shin Peridot probably taking it up from a low draw in the absence of a genuine leader. TAKAICHI ASCOT (8) brings the clearest winning platform after breaking through at Funabashi over 1200m, beating Immaculate by two lengths after getting clear and holding the race safely. The rise to 1400m is the obvious new test, but the fresh win gives her form more substance than most of these. SOPRANO TOUCH (6) is still a maiden after 16 starts, yet her third here two runs back behind Hiro Shige Crystal reads well enough for a race of this depth, and she has placed at both the track and trip. TRINITARIANISM (3) has to rebound from a plain Kawasaki ninth, but his previous second at Urawa and a one win, five places from ten starts track-and-distance record keep him right in the argument. ICE FIELD (10) is harder to trust for win purposes, being a 23-start maiden, though his fifth here two back after finishing off from a hopeless spot gives him a realistic minor-money profile if he sharpens from the latest run.

TOSHIO TOMITA
6YO  BROWN  HORSE 54.0KG

Returns after two months off following a sixth at Urawa, where he was beaten over 14 lengths by Maruno Anna and unwanted in the market. The start prior was no better, finishing second last here behind Hiro Shige Crystal after giving away too much ground. With no wins from 72 starts and unplaced in 14 runs over the past year, he needs a major form reversal.

TAKANORI YAMANAKA
6YO  BAY  MARE 51.0KG

Failed to come into the race when second last behind Takaichi Ascot over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten over 14 lengths after being an outside chance in betting. She was also last there the run prior, giving ground quickly after having the leaders in reach. The light weight and previous win at this distance help, but recent form makes her more a place hope than a win play.

Katsumi Yoshida
Returns after five weeks since a disappointing ninth at Kawasaki, beaten over 12 lengths by Gomez after sitting just off them without threatening. His previous second at Urawa behind Maruno Anna is the better guide, and he has one win and five placings from ten starts at this track and distance. Third-up with proven local form, he can rebound strongly.

Shumpei Imanaka
Returns from a lengthy spell, having last run seventh at Funabashi over 1200m, beaten over 10 lengths after settling rearward. The run before that is the key reference: she was second at Urawa, beaten just under a length by Neo Ancora after being pipped late. Her overall record and good rider combination give her place claims, but the long absence tempers the winning view.

TAKAYUKI HAYASHI
6YO  CHESTNUT  MARE 54.0KG

Was never in the picture at Kawasaki last start, finishing eighth behind My Presti and beaten nine and a half lengths after giving away too much ground. She had been second last behind Gomez at the same venue before that, again making no late impression. The class drop and fourth-up profile are some help, but her current form asks for a much sharper finish.

SHINJI KOBAYASHI
4YO  BAY  FILLY 53.0KG

Returns after two months off having been safely held when seventh at Urawa behind Ichimokusan, beaten eight and a half lengths and unwanted in betting. Her third here the start prior behind Hiro Shige Crystal was more encouraging, and she has placed at both the course and distance. Still a maiden after 16 starts, but this sets up as a genuine chance to run well.

Osumi Co. Ltd.
Returns after two months off a heavy defeat at Urawa, finishing second last behind Maruno Anna when big odds and well beaten. She was last here the start prior, beaten over 15 lengths by Hiro Shige Crystal and unable to make ground. Past track-and-trip form sits in the background, but current results leave her with plenty to turn around.

KAZUMA YABUGUCHI
4YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 54.0KG

Broke through in good style first-up at Funabashi, beating Immaculate by two lengths over 1200m after getting clear and keeping them safely at bay. That was a marked improvement on her Urawa seventh behind Kotorino Utau Uta in March, when she was at long odds and never involved. The 1400m rise is the main question, but she brings the strongest recent winning form.

MORIO KAWAMURA

Tomiro Fukami
Was well found in betting at Funabashi last start but finished ninth behind Fairyland, beaten over 12 lengths and never a winning hope. She had also been safely held at Urawa two back when second last behind Ichimokusan. Her five-win career record and one win, two placings from five rides with this jockey are positives, yet recent form keeps her to place calculations.

KATSUFUMI SUZUKI
4YO  GREY  HORSE 56.0KG
Mill Farm Co. Ltd.
Returns after two months off a fifth at Urawa behind Maruno Anna, beaten over 12 lengths after starting as an outside chance. The previous fifth here behind Hiro Shige Crystal had more merit, as he looked out of play before finishing off strongly. Still a 23-start maiden, but three placings from ten runs in the past year give him a workable place profile.

Shigeyuki Nishiyama
Returns after five weeks since finishing tenth at Kawasaki behind Gomez, beaten over 12 lengths after settling too far out of play. He had worked home fairly for sixth at Urawa the start before, but that was still at long odds and beaten eight and a half lengths. Four placings from 13 starts at this track and distance help only slightly; he needs more.

TETSUYA TAKAHASHI

SHINOBU HASEGAWA
4YO  BAY  FILLY 54.0KG

Finished last behind Takaichi Ascot at Funabashi over 1200m, beaten over 14 lengths after having too much to do and failing to make headway. She had failed to finish at Urawa the run before when near the top of an open market, so the profile is difficult to trust. Still a maiden and unplaced in 12 starts at this track, she needs a clear turnaround.
