URAWA   29 May 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 7 800m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Viva Acapulco leading the way. VIVA ACAPULCO (9) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when she scored by one length over 1200m at Funabashi. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. LUMINEUX FILLE (11) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 9 lengths away in 11th over 1000m at Funabashi. Has the ability to put the recent run of form behind her. AGNI RADIANCE (5) turned in a modest performance when 11th last start over 800m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. That followed a good first-up win at Kawasaki. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. PLAUSUS (4) lines up for the first time since March 17. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1500m at Himeji. Sure to make his presence felt.
