Race 4 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with several going forward headed by G T Swat. G T SWAT (1) is the clear form horse on exposed Urawa evidence, having won his past two starts here by six lengths and five lengths as a very short odds-on favourite. The six-month break is the only real reservation, but three wins from three at the track and a perfect record with Tsubasa Sasagawa read very strongly. PEPTIDE SPARKLE (5) looks the next most reliable winning option after improving into third here at long odds, and her repeated track-and-distance placings give her a genuine platform. MEISHO SEOTO (3) is harder to trust off two plain runs, including a seventh behind Charina, yet the class drop and return of a winning rider keep her in the mix if she rebounds. REBAT (4) has been safely held at Kawasaki and Funabashi, but his Urawa 1400m record and broader consistency make him a legitimate place-to-win hope rather than a throw-in.

G T SWAT
SATOSHI KOKUBO 4YO BAY HORSE 56.0KG Toshihiko Tabata Returns from a six-month break after putting two dominant Urawa wins together, most recently beating Rhein Artemis by six lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. The start prior was another fast-track win here by five lengths over Hakushin Dance, and he has three wins from three at this course. He can roll forward from barrier one, and if he returns near last campaign's level he sets the standard. |

SHONAN BARGE
SHINSUKE KUDO 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Tetsuhide Kunimoto Back after two months, she was fourth here behind Charina when beaten three lengths after failing to finish it off. That followed a Urawa win by a neck over Pikatti at good odds, so there is a genuine track-and-distance base to work from. The trip still carries a query, but one win and two placings from six here over 1400m keeps her in the minor-money discussion. |
2 YUJIRO TANABATA |

MEISHO SEOTO
TAKASHI NOGUCHI 4YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Yoshio Matsumoto Back after two months, she needs to turn around a plain seventh behind Charina at Urawa, where she was in the right spot but offered little and was beaten nine and a half lengths. Her 800m run prior was no better, finishing last behind Paina. The positive case rests on a class drop, race fitness and a jockey who has won on her before, but she must lift sharply to justify support. |

REBAT
HIRONORI UNOKI 4YO BAY HORSE 56.0KG Comes in off a fifth at Kawasaki, beaten seven lengths by Party King after again failing to finish the race off. His Funabashi run before that was more concerning, beaten over 14 lengths in a 3yo+ C3 after being swamped late. The stronger case is his Urawa 1400m record, with one win and one placing from three, so he is better treated as a place hope than a standout win play. |
4 YOICHIRO MURO |

PEPTIDE SPARKLE
HIROHITO NOGUCHI 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Back after two months, she improved into third at Urawa behind Ravi's Dream, beaten five lengths at long odds while working home evenly. That was a much better return than her seventh behind Fire Star, when she was well found in betting but made no impression. With one win and four placings from eight starts overall, she has enough consistency to be a major player again. |
5 SHOYA HOZONO |
|
| 6 | 233x6 |
TAMAMO CLOCHE
TAKASHI MIZUNO 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Tamamo Co. Ltd. Back after two months, she resumed with a sixth in a 3yo+ C2C3 at Urawa, beaten six and a half lengths by Air Shallow after never looking a winning hope. Her previous run was a better third behind Lambo, but she is still a maiden after 16 starts. The place record with this rider is respectable, yet she needs more conviction late to trouble the main chances. |
6 TETSUYA TAKAHASHI |

| 7 | 80385 |
BULLDOG GIRL
YOSHIKAZU KANUMA 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Him Rock Racing Holdings Co. Ltd. Back after two months, she was fifth behind Charina at Urawa, beaten seven lengths at big odds after giving away too much start and only working home fairly. The run prior was weaker again, eighth behind Fire Star and beaten over 10 lengths. A past Urawa 1400m win is some help, but her recent form has not been sharp enough to make a strong case. |
7 YUKI FURUOKA |

| 8 | 02086 |
NAMURA MICK
YUTAKA KAWASHIMA 5YO BAY HORSE 56.0KG Mutsuhiro Namura Settled rearward and finished sixth over 1200m at Funabashi last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Attract Run at long odds. That followed a last placing at Urawa behind Charina, beaten over 14 lengths, so the recent evidence is thin. The rise back to 1400m may suit better, but he has no wins from five at this track and distance and needs a marked lift. |
8 WADA JOJI |

| 9 | 37659 |
ALPINE HUT
MORIO KAWAMURA 4YO BAY FILLY 52.0KG Godolphin Back after six weeks, she was ninth over 800m at Urawa behind Queen's Happy, beaten just under seven lengths after holding position but failing to quicken. Her previous fifth behind Paina over the same trip had more merit, beaten two and a half lengths. The light weight helps, but rising to 1400m is a genuine question for a maiden after 26 starts. |

MISATO RED DIA
TAKASHI NOGUCHI 4YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Masahiko Tobe Back after two months, she was second last at Urawa behind Rikkio and well beaten by 21 lengths at long odds. The run prior was also poor, finishing tenth behind Tokai Diamant when unwanted in the market and beaten over 15 lengths. With no wins from 17 starts and unplaced in all ten runs at this track, she has a substantial form task. |
10 RYOMA KIMATSUKA |
|
| 11 | 74423 |
NISHINO REPEAT
TOSHIO TOMITA 5YO CHESTNUT MARE 54.0KG Shigeyuki Nishiyama Back after six weeks, she comes off a third at Urawa behind L'Oiseaubleu Chinu, beaten four lengths after working home evenly. Two back she was second behind Felice Rally at big odds, so her latest form is honest enough without being dominant. Two placings from two rides with Koshi Yoshidome add support, and she profiles as a genuine place contender. |
11 KOSHI YOSHIDOME |
|
| 12 | 346x3 |
HAYAO
KATSUFUMI SUZUKI 4YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Back after two months, he resumed with a useful third at Urawa behind Charina, beaten just under three lengths after working home evenly. His previous run was a plain sixth behind Azukichan on good ground, beaten eight and a half lengths, so consistency remains the query. He has placed three times from six at this track and distance, which keeps him in the place mix. |

SANONO LOVE ME
YUTAKA KAWASHIMA 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Back after two months, she was second last in a 3yo+ C2C3 at Urawa behind Air Shallow, beaten over 12 lengths and unwanted in the market. Her previous start was a last placing behind Swertia, also well beaten, so the recent pattern is hard to recommend. Despite a broader winning record, she is unplaced in all eight starts at this track and distance. |
