Combat Kick has enough pace to take up the running from his wide draw in a low-pressure affair. SEASON SEAT (9) goes on top despite two plain Nagoya runs, with the return to 1400m the decisive form angle. She has won at this distance and gets back from 2000m, so this looks a more suitable assignment than the one where Handful had her beaten over 13 lengths. CINDERELLA LIBERTY (3) brings the best recent Urawa reference, finishing second here behind Okashi Daisuki Man and holding Thor Tesoro in that meeting. The maiden record is the only real reservation. THOR TESORO (11) has the stronger overall winning profile, with two wins from ten starts, and his third at Urawa reads well enough to give him a genuine chance if he improves again. HAPUNA (8) is the value danger for exotics after a fourth and second at this track, though she must turn the tables on the key rivals from the latest clash.

ARABIAN D'ORO
KATSUFUMI SUZUKI 3YO DK B COLT 56.0KG Finished well held at Kawasaki last start when ninth behind Mitono Teio, after settling miles back and failing to improve as an unwanted market runner. His prior Urawa effort was no better, finishing second last behind Egal and beaten over 18 lengths at big odds. The class drop is noted, but an unplaced season and lack of recent finish make this a difficult assignment. |

AEOLIAN RIDGE
SATOSHI KOKUBO 3YO DK B COLT 56.0KG Lion Race Horse Co. Ltd. Returns from a four-month break after finishing 12th in a 3yo Maiden over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten over 14 lengths after fading late. He had also been well held at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m at big odds, so the race form is thin. The class relief and leading Urawa stable are positives, but the back in trip to 1400m still leaves him as a place hope rather than a confident winning play. |
2 SHOYA HOZONO |

CINDERELLA LIBERTY
KAZUNORI SAKAI 3YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Mill Farm Co. Ltd. Returns off a six-week let-up after running second at Urawa, beaten five lengths by Okashi Daisuki Man, and she had Thor Tesoro behind her in that race. The run prior at Kawasaki over 900m was eye-catching from the rear when fourth to Rock My Soul at long odds. She remains a maiden after eleven starts, but the recent trend is strong enough to make her a serious winning chance. |
3 GENKI FUJIMOTO |

SPEELOVIO
TAKESHI MINOWA 3YO BROWN COLT 56.0KG Returns off a six-week let-up following an eighth at Urawa, beaten over 13 lengths behind Egal after settling rearward as a big-odds runner. The run before was last here behind Shinen Kogetsu, beaten over 14 lengths, so there is no recent platform to trust. The class drop and winning rider returning help only at the margins, and he must lift sharply. |
4 DAI OKADA |

WONYOUNG
KATSUO ISHII 3YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Was beaten a long way at Funabashi over 1600m last start behind Danon Mustang and was again unwanted in betting. The previous run was also poor, finishing second last behind Komasa after racing prominently and giving nothing in the run home. She has placed at 1400m and at Urawa, but current form makes the class drop hard to lean on. |

DAIMEI BUTTERFLY
TAKASHI NOGUCHI 3YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Back after six weeks since a seventh at Urawa behind Egal, beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward. Her previous fifth behind Takaichi Shohei was better, with some late work and a margin just over six lengths, but she has not won in eight starts. The three placings from seven attempts at this track and distance give minor support, though she needs a cleaner finishing effort. |
6 AKIO MIKOSHI |

| 7 | 38576 |
SHINANO AMBER
YOSHIKAZU KANUMA 3YO BROWN FILLY 54.0KG Resumes from a six-week freshening after picking up nicely in the straight for sixth at Urawa, albeit beaten over 12 lengths by Egal. Her previous seventh behind Takaichi Shohei offered less, as she was never able to make ground from well back. Two placings from nine starts show some minor-money capacity, but an unplaced track-distance record keeps the winning case modest. |
7 HARUHISA SANO |
|
| 8 | 00524 |
HAPUNA
MAKI HIRAYAMA 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Back from a six-week let-up after finishing fourth at Urawa behind Okashi Daisuki Man, beaten six and a half lengths, though she failed to finish it off after being unwanted in the market. She had earlier run second here to the same winner when near the top of an open market. Recent matchups put her behind Cinderella Liberty and Thor Tesoro, so she profiles as an honest place chance. |

SEASON SEAT
SHINSUKE KUDO 3YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Yoshiaki Kobayashi Back after a five-week freshening since a plain eighth over 2000m at Nagoya, where she was beaten over 13 lengths by Handful after offering little. The prior 1700m run behind Reversal Top was also well held, but dropping to 1400m is important given she has won at this distance. If the shorter trip brings her back to that form, she has the right profile to take this out. |

COMBAT KICK
SHINSUKE KUDO 3YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Returns after six weeks since finishing fifth at Urawa behind Okashi Daisuki Man, beaten nine and a half lengths after failing to quicken. His previous third behind Egal on a rain-affected track was more encouraging, and he should be able to race handy. Still a maiden, but six placings from ten starts and two placings at this track and distance keep him in the minor-money picture. |
10 YOICHIRO MURO |
|
| 11 | 15983 |
THOR TESORO
MAKI HIRAYAMA 3YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Ryotokuji Kenji Holdings Co. Ltd. Resumes off a six-week let-up after a solid third at Urawa behind Okashi Daisuki Man, beaten six and a half lengths when near the top of an open market. He was safely held at Nagoya two back, but his broader record of two wins and two placings from ten starts gives him more substance than most. Cinderella Liberty had his measure last time, yet he remains a strong chance with even slight improvement. |
11 YUJIRO TANABATA |

SANDROCK
SHINSUKE KUDO 3YO BAY FILLY 51.0KG Kozo Ishise Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last in a 3yo B2 at Morioka Dirt, beaten over 19 lengths by Nike Felice at big odds. The run prior was also well held behind Valuable, where she settled rearward and weakened further. Her light weight and 1400m win are positives on paper, but the current form line demands a substantial lift. |
