Good pace from Maruno Anna, Jun Impulse and Calling Henny. MARUNO ANNA (12) brings the clearest recent winning form after scoring by five lengths at Urawa as a dominant odds-on favourite, and her record with Yoichiro Muro gives that profile further substance. CALLING HENNY (4) has not won for a while, but he has been close enough in recent Kawasaki runs and was respected in betting when fifth behind My Presti last time, so he looks the main danger if he lifts slightly. JUN IMPULSE (10) resumes from a six-month break after running second here as favourite over 800m; the longer trip is the obvious query, yet his lightly raced profile and Urawa placings keep him in the argument. YASAKA SOLEIL (5) has been unwanted in betting at recent Urawa runs but has closed off fairly both times, making him more of a place-leaning danger than a dominant winning chance.

HINA BONBON
Satoru Furusawa 5YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Yuta Onodera Was never a factor when seventh at Kawasaki last start, beaten over 12 lengths behind Gomez after having plenty of ground to make up. Her previous run was no better, finishing tenth there behind My Bridge and beaten over 16 lengths at long odds. The class drop and return of a winning rider are positives on paper, but recent form says she needs a marked turnaround. |

MOZU MASTERPIECE
Yumiko Iriguchi 6YO BAY HORSE 56.0KG Capital System Co. Ltd. Returns from two months off after finishing eighth at Urawa, beaten seven and a half lengths behind Jazz Pianist when coming from well back without threatening. He had also been ninth here behind Princess Chiara, but his two wins and seven places from 18 starts at this track and distance give him a more credible place profile than recent margins alone suggest. The winning case is thin, yet he can improve into the minor money. |

ANRI
JUNICHI YOSHIHASHI 5YO DK B MARE 52.0KG Finished second last at Kawasaki three weeks ago, beaten over 18 lengths behind My Presti as one of the outsiders, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. The start prior was another plain effort, second last behind Key Fine and beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. She gets weight relief, but a maiden record of two placings from 40 starts makes this a difficult assignment. |

CALLING HENNY
SUNAO YAMADA 5YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Led and kept working when fifth at Kawasaki last start, beaten just over four lengths behind My Presti after being near the top of betting. That followed a fourth behind Gomez, where the margin was six and a half lengths but he again showed enough to stay in the discussion. He is race fit and likely to use his natural speed, so this looks a suitable race to turn solid recent efforts into a stronger result. |
4 RYO NOVATA |

| 5 | 56856 |
YASAKA SOLEIL
KAZUNORI SAKAI 6YO DK B HORSE 56.0KG Yoshihiko Shimura Returns from two months off after finishing sixth at Urawa, beaten just over six lengths behind Jazz Pianist, but he did pick up nicely in the straight. His fifth behind Princess Chiara here two back was also from an unwanted market position, so the stable has not had public confidence with him lately. A past-year win helps the profile, though he shapes better as a place contender than a winning anchor. |
5 DAI OKADA |

DERMA PRAKRTI
KAZUMA YABUGUCHI 5YO BROWN HORSE 56.0KG Hiroyuki Asanuma Was beaten over 13 lengths at Funabashi last start after settling rearward over 1200m, and the rise in trip is a genuine query from that performance. Two back he was third at Urawa behind Maruno Anna, beaten six and a half lengths at big odds, which gives him a small piece of relevant local form. The maiden record still weighs heavily, so improvement is required to trouble the main hopes. |
6 KOSHI YOSHIDOME |

ANGELA CAFE
MASAMI YAMADA 7YO DK B MARE 54.0KG Kyoko Nishikawa Worked home fairly from a long way back when sixth at Kawasaki last start, but she was still beaten over 12 lengths by Gomez at big odds. Her previous fifth behind the same winner was better on margin, though still seven and a half lengths away and again at big odds. With no placing from six Urawa starts and no placing this season, she needs more than a class drop to become a threat. |
7 RYO TANAKA |
|
| 8 | 69675 |
WONDER FEEL
KATSUFUMI SUZUKI 5YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Returns from two months off after finishing fifth at Urawa, beaten six and a half lengths behind Ichimokusan when he failed to quicken. The start prior was a wider defeat behind Princess Chiara, but he does at least own a win and a placing from 16 starts at this track and distance. Recent form is not compelling, yet the local 1400m record keeps him in the place mix if he finds a sharper finish. |
8 TETSUYA TAKAHASHI |
|
| 9 | 90709 |
RYUNO PHANTOM
TAKASHI NOGUCHI 6YO BAY HORSE 56.0KG Returns from two months off after a second-last finish at Urawa, beaten over 10 lengths behind Jazz Pianist when conceding a big start and never entering the race. He was last here behind Princess Chiara two back, beaten over 16 lengths at big odds. Prior track-and-trip credentials are noted, but being unplaced in all 15 starts over the past 12 months is hard to overlook. |

JUN IMPULSE
SATOSHI KOKUBO 4YO GREY HORSE 56.0KG Returns from a lengthy six-month break after running second at Urawa over 800m, beaten three lengths by Daiei Bilberry as favourite after being unable to sustain the effort late. His previous run was a seventh in a 3yo COND at Kawasaki over 900m, so the 1400m start first-up is the main reservation. Still, two placings from three Urawa starts and a leading rider-trainer pairing make him a serious chance if he runs the trip. |

YAMABUKI
YOSHIKAZU KANUMA 6YO GREY HORSE 54.0KG Blue Stars Farm Co. Ltd. Returns from a lengthy six-month break after finishing last at Urawa over 2000m, where he was well held behind Meisho Fuso after sitting close enough to matter. His run prior was far stronger, third in a 3yo+ C2C3 at Kawasaki over 2000m and beaten a length and a half by Neo Shangrila. The drop back in trip is a query, but his place consistency in the past 12 months gives him minor-money appeal. |

MARUNO ANNA
MORIO KAWAMURA 7YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Takao Maruyama Returns from two months off after a decisive Urawa win, beating Trinitarianism by five lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite. That followed a fifth here behind Meiwa Sherry when beaten just over two lengths, so the rebound was backed by prior competitive form. She has two wins and three places from 20 starts at this track and distance, and with Yoichiro Muro having won five times on her, she sets a clear benchmark. |
