Race 11 1500m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong gallop with God Treasure and Egon Urrea taking up the running over Luna Fortuna. EGON URREA (3) sets the standard after controlling her latest race at Kawasaki and beating Nori Nori Socks by three lengths, with a solid Urawa third behind Danon Rainier the run prior adding depth to the profile. SUPERMAN (12) is the wildcard resuming from three months off; his recent figures are plain, but the class drop, top-rated last-12-months tag and strong stable-rider profile keep him high in calculations despite the 1500m query. HARMONY ROI (2) is entitled to rebound after a plain Funabashi seventh, having fought hard when second to Muscle at Urawa two back and holding useful track-and-distance place credentials. DAIBA YATAGARASU (9) has yet to win in 27 starts, so the winning case is limited, but his placing record and better effort two back make him a credible minor-money threat if he lifts on the latest run.

GOD TREASURE
KAZUMA YABUGUCHI 4YO BROWN HORSE 56.0KG Kenji Nakanishi Finished fifth in a 3yo+ B2B3 over 2200m at Funabashi last start, beaten just over five lengths by Lilabad after being near the top of an open market. He had also been fifth at Funabashi over 1800m when sent out an odds-on favourite. The drop back in trip suits and his six wins from 18 starts keep him in the place mix, but he needs to turn solid efforts into sharper finishing work. |

HARMONY ROI
KIYOSHIGE ARAI 6YO BAY HORSE 56.0KG Worked home evenly when seventh over 1200m at Funabashi last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Deserve after starting at long odds. His better reference is the Urawa run prior in a 3yo+ B2B3, where he led and fought hard before going under by a length to Muscle. Proven enough around this track and distance to rebound strongly if he reproduces that effort. |

EGON URREA
Y YANO 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 53.0KG Kozo Ishise Scored with authority at Kawasaki last start, beating Nori Nori Socks by three lengths after holding a narrow lead and quickening clear. That followed a sound third at Urawa behind Danon Rainier, beaten two and a half lengths after racing right there throughout. She has three wins from nine starts and a good record with Kosei Akimoto, so this filly looks one of the key winning chances again. |

KUMANOKO
HIRONORI UNOKI 4YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Gensho Uchida Returns from six weeks off following a poor Urawa effort, finishing second last and beaten over 13 lengths by Danon Rainier after being unwanted in the market. She had been last here the start prior, beaten over 14 lengths by Ecoro Leona, and has gone unplaced in all five starts this season. The class drop and past track credentials help only slightly; she must improve sharply. |

HANACHIRUSATO
HIRONORI UNOKI 5YO CHESTNUT MARE 54.0KG Gensho Uchida Returns from six weeks off after finishing sixth in a 3yo+ B2B3 at Urawa, beaten five and a half lengths by Muscle when near the top of betting. The run prior was stronger, a second to Citrus Flavor at this track when beaten a length. Her Urawa 1500m record is the anchor, with two wins and four places from seven starts, and that keeps her a sound place chance. |

BRAVE OUT
TAKAMITSU WATANABE 5YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Was never a factor in a 3yo+ B2B3 over 2200m at Funabashi last start, finishing second last and beaten just under ten lengths by Lilabad at long odds. His previous Funabashi run was also plain, eighth and beaten just under seven lengths by Bari Flavor. The back-in-trip setup is some help, but he remains winless and unplaced through the past 12 months. |
6 TATSUYA YAMAGUCHI |

NERAIUCHI
MAKI HIRAYAMA 4YO CHESTNUT GELDING 56.0KG Made no impression from well back when 12th at Funabashi last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Irie's Pachira after starting at long odds. His better run came at Urawa two back when fourth behind Danon Rainier, beaten three and a half lengths. The place record is respectable, but he is still winless after 26 starts and needs to find a much stronger finish. |
7 TAKEHIRO KASANO |

| 8 | 60x62 |
CZERNY
KAZUMA YABUGUCHI 5YO GREY MARE 54.0KG Hidaka Breeders Union Co. Ltd. Returns from six weeks off after a sound second in a 3yo+ B3C1 at Urawa, beaten two lengths by Josephina after settling rearward. That was a clear lift on her sixth here the start prior, when she made late ground without threatening. Third-up and proven at this course and distance with four wins and four places from 12 starts, she profiles as a reliable place contender. |
8 DAI OKADA |

| 9 | 22378 |
DAIBA YATAGARASU
TAKESHI MINOWA 4YO BAY GELDING 55.0KG Returns from six weeks off after finishing eighth at Urawa, beaten six and a half lengths by Danon Rainier when just fair through the line. His previous run was more encouraging, beaten just under three lengths by Ecoro Leona after coming from an unlikely position. Still a maiden after 27 starts, but the placing record is solid enough to keep him in minor-money calculations. |
9 HARUTO NAKAYAMA |

LUNA FORTUNA
TOMOYUKI FUJIHARA 4YO BROWN HORSE 56.0KG Finished seventh at Kawasaki last start, beaten just under ten lengths by Rickey's Luck after a moderate final effort. He was also safely held at Urawa two back, sixth and beaten six lengths by Danon Rainier. Two wins from nine starts at this track and distance are the positive, but current form is not strong enough to make him a major player. |
10 KEITA NISHI |

PINO HOHOA
TAKASHI NOGUCHI 6YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Resumed with a heavy defeat at Kawasaki, finishing tenth and beaten over 19 lengths by Pepper Mill after fading late at big odds. His previous Urawa run was also well below the mark, tenth and beaten over 12 lengths by Alvarez. Unplaced in all 13 starts in the past 12 months, he needs a sharp second-up improvement to trouble these. |
11 HARUHISA SANO |

SUPERMAN
SATOSHI KOKUBO 6YO BROWN HORSE 56.0KG Makoto Kosuge Returns from three months off after finishing ninth in a 3yo+ B2B3 over 800m at Urawa, beaten five and a half lengths by Fortitude after keeping on from well back. His earlier Chukyo ALLOW run was also midfield-to-rearward in shape, 13th and beaten five and a half lengths by Richard Barows. The 1500m is a query, but the class drop and strong rider-trainer profile make him a serious chance if he is sharp enough fresh. |
