URAWA   24 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 4 800m

Track:      

Entire field on debut. Expecting the juveniles to go keenly. IVANKA (1) has the most compelling debut profile, coming from the Satoshi Kokubo stable, which has a strong Urawa record and a solid 23% strike rate with debut runners from the supplied sample. The Hokko Tarumae link also reads well through a 24% trainer-sire combination, so she deserves top billing. DEN DEN DENGURI (5) is the main danger on stable debut figures, with Hironori Unoki showing 5 wins from 11 first-starter runners and a sibling, Zagori, having won on debut over 900m at Kawasaki. FISKARS (2) draws well and has a productive family behind her, including full sibling Silent Voice with 7 wins and half-sibling Syn Schiene with 7 wins, though the stable debut record is quieter. SHINANO D'AMOUR (3) is the more speculative winning chance, but her dam has thrown several winners and the trainer has placed with 3 of 5 debut runners, which keeps her in the discussion.
1 IVANKA
SATOSHI KOKUBO
2YO  BAY  FILLY 54.0KG

Debuts from the Satoshi Kokubo stable and gets a positive set-up for an 800m first appearance from barrier 1 with 54kg. The yard has 5 wins and 15 placings from 22 debut runners in the supplied sample, while the Hokko Tarumae cross has produced 30 wins from 125 starts for this trainer. With Ryo Novata booked and a half-sibling in Ganda already a Nakayama Dirt winner, she profiles as the one they have to beat.

2 FISKARS
Yumiko Iriguchi
2YO  BAY  FILLY 54.0KG

Makes her first start for Yumiko Iriguchi and has a clean inside draw in barrier 2 with Shoya Hozono aboard. The immediate family gives her some substance, headed by full sibling Silent Voice with 7 wins and half-sibling Syn Schiene also a 7-time winner. Like A Bee placed on debut over 900m at Kawasaki, which is a useful short-course pointer, but she shapes more as a place prospect than the top pick.

SHOYA HOZONO
PURPLE, GOLD FIVE STARS, ARMBAND, Black cap
3 SHINANO D'AMOUR
YOSHIKAZU KANUMA
2YO  DK B  FILLY 54.0KG

Begins for Yoshikazu Kanuma from barrier 3 and carries the standard 54kg. The trainer's debut sample shows 3 placings from 5 starters, though no wins, so the yard has had first-starters run well without converting. Her half-siblings include Pyravlos with 6 wins and Mozu Reira Cocona with 3 wins, while several family members have shown debut form. She needs to be sharp early to trouble the main chances.

4 REGALO PARA YOU
MASAMI YOSHIDA
2YO  BAY  FILLY 54.0KG

Starts out for Masami Yoshida with Kosei Akimoto taking the ride from barrier 4. The family has depth through Bellagio Manami, an 8-time winner, and Bellagio Pride, a 6-time winner, but the supplied debut indicators are less persuasive, with the trainer yet to win or place from 2 debut runners. She has enough breeding to monitor, but on exposed profile she must exceed the stable pattern.

5 DEN DEN DENGURI
HIRONORI UNOKI
2YO  BROWN  FILLY 54.0KG

Comes to the races for Hironori Unoki, whose debut record is the standout element: 5 wins from 11 first-starter runners and 7 placings in the supplied sample. She is by Tanino Frankel out of Ina Loa, and her half-sibling Zagori won on debut over 900m at Kawasaki, which aligns neatly with this 800m assignment. Barrier 5 is not as kind as some rivals, but the profile gives her genuine claims.

AKIRA HARITA
BLACK, YELLOW RIGHT SASH, STRIPED SLEEVES, Yellow cap
6 GOSSIP COLUMN
Kenichi Shigeta
2YO  BAY  FILLY 54.0KG

Debuts from the Kenichi Shigeta stable and the broader pedigree is easily the strongest part of her case, with Chuck Nate a G2 winner and Real Beginning a Tokyo Dirt winner over 2100m. The trainer's debut numbers are also sound, showing 2 wins and 6 placings from 6 first-starter runners, plus a strong Just A Way combination. Even so, from barrier 6 she looks more a runner to assess carefully than one to put above the leading profiles.
