|---|---|---|---|---|

Good pace from Castle Aile, Digest and Ryuno Essence. CASTLE AILE (3) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 1400m at Urawa. Finds a suitable race and can make it back-to-back wins. COME BACK (2) improved last start to finish third over 1600m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Finds the right race this time and can take the next step and salute. DIGEST (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track after being prominent at the turn. The engagement of Akira Harita is a positive move. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. RYUNO ESSENCE (5) produced a better run last start over 1500m at Urawa. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
