URAWA   24 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 3 800m

Track:      

Entire field on debut. Expecting the juveniles to go keenly. HAYANE (3) looks the most appealing debutant in this 800m 2yo COND, with the Takashi Mizuno stable ranking strongly at Urawa and a close family link to Yabane, who was second on debut here before winning two of four. QUAD ANGLE (5) has a very persuasive stable profile, as Hironori Unoki has produced five winners from 11 debut runners, although the American Patriot pairing is less compelling. EMERALD MADONNA (1) draws the inside and comes from a Wonder Circle family with several winners, giving her a neat place-to-win platform if she handles race day cleanly. TOYA LAKE (4) is harder to rank on exposed family evidence, but the Tomoyuki Fujihara debut and Taisei Legend figures are strong enough to make him a legitimate threat if he is switched on for the 800m.
1 EMERALD MADONNA
TSUKASA KAIBAZAWA
2YO  BAY  FILLY 54.0KG

Debuts from barrier 1 as a Talismanic filly out of Wonder Circle and has enough family substance to warrant respect. Half-siblings Jun Seiko, Matsurida Cavallo and Yamasho Queen all won multiple races, while Jun Seiko scored on debut over 900m at Saga. The trainer-sire record is modest for wins but sound enough for placings, so she shapes as a genuine top-three chance rather than a clear standout.

RETSU OIKAWA
ORANGE, White cap
2 TAKAICHI ELON
KAZUMA YABUGUCHI
2YO  BAY  COLT 54.0KG

Starts his career from barrier 2 for Kazuma Yabuguchi, with the stable having placed two of six debut runners without winning. The family offers some encouragement, as Takaichi Mikki and Takaichi Shohei are both winners, and Takaichi Shohei was second on debut at Urawa for the same trainer. Even so, he needs to show more than the profile alone to trouble the main chances.
2
KOSEI AKIMOTO
WHITE, RED STRIPES, SLEEVES, WHITE ARMBANDS, RED COLLAR, Black cap
3 HAYANE
TAKASHI MIZUNO
2YO  BAY  FILLY 54.0KG

Begins for the Takashi Mizuno stable, which ranks third for track wins, and that gives this Chuwa Wizard filly a solid professional platform. Her half-sibling Yabane was second on debut at Urawa over 1400m and won two of four, also for this stable. The stable's broader debut strike-rate is not dominant, but the local and family references make her one of the key winning hopes.
3
MASASHIGE HONDA
YELLOW, MEDIUM BLUE RIGHT SASH, Red cap
4 TOYA LAKE
TOMOYUKI FUJIHARA
2YO  CHESTNUT  COLT 54.0KG

Faces the starter for the first time from barrier 4 and brings a notable stable pattern into the race. Tomoyuki Fujihara has two wins and three placings from five debut runners, and the trainer-sire combination with Taisei Legend has produced eight wins from 37 starters. Those figures command respect, but he still has to transfer that profile to the 800m under race conditions.
4
KEITA NISHI
PINK, BLUE SIX SPOTS, Blue cap
5 QUAD ANGLE
HIRONORI UNOKI
2YO  BAY  COLT 54.0KG

Opens his career for Hironori Unoki, whose debut record is the strongest single pointer in this field, with five wins and seven placings from 11 starters. The American Patriot trainer-sire pairing is less forceful, but half-sibling Vinyl did place on debut over 1000m at Funabashi. From barrier 5, he has enough stable backing to be treated as a serious place hope with winning claims.
5
WADA JOJI
RED,WHITE ZIGZAG CHEVRON,PURPLE SLEEVES, Yellow cap
6 LAGOON LIEN
TAKESHI MINOWA
2YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 54.0KG

Makes her debut from barrier 6 as a Gold Dream filly out of Poitiers, and the family has produced durable winners headed by Wisteria Daddy and Sorrento Flavor. There is also an 800m debut placing through Raw Sienna at Kochi. The concern is profile-based, with Takeshi Minowa winless from three debut starters and this trainer-sire combination yet to win from 13 attempts, so improvement on the stable pattern is required.

GENKI FUJIMOTO
