URAWA   26 May 2026
 
GOING: G

Race 4 1500m

Track: GOOD      

G T Amour, Baklava and Lemon Aika can set a genuine tempo. G T AMOUR (3) returns from a break of ten weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1400m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. KITANO AMAPOLA (7) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BAKLAVA (4) returned from a spell five weeks ago when she was beaten 16 lengths into tenth over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning form. IORI (6) finished midfield at her first run back from a spell last start, beaten 8 lengths over 1500m at this track at big odds. Deserves another chance in this line up.
