Race 7 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with Ukiyono Messiah, Pattsun Dress and Takaichi Shohei going hard, closely attended by Bear Tooth. EGAL (3) is the horse with the clearest winning profile after putting two Urawa wins together, first scoring by five lengths then backing it up with a two-length success over Terrentius. That gives her the strongest recent form, although the distance query in the profile keeps the race from being completely closed. UKIYONO MESSIAH (8) comes next after finding plenty to win by a nose here at generous odds, and her broader place record gives her substance if she repeats that level. TAKAICHI SHOHEI (2) has yet to miss a place in four starts and was beaten just under a length by Golden Comanche after starting short odds-on favourite, so he remains a serious danger despite that defeat. BEAR TOOTH (10) resumes with a reliable place pattern rather than a winning one, having placed five times from eleven starts without winning, and must stretch from recent 1200m form to be the upset hope.

BALCANICUS
HIROHITO NOGUCHI 3YO DK B COLT 56.0KG Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fifth behind Golden Comanche at Urawa, beaten seven and a half lengths when kept to his work late. The run prior was plain, with an eighth to Sea Of Stars after being at long odds, but he does have one win and one place from three starts at this track and distance. A place chance if he recaptures that local form. |

TAKAICHI SHOHEI
KAZUMA YABUGUCHI 3YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Returns from a six-week freshening after being pipped by Golden Comanche at Urawa, beaten just under a length as the short odds-on favourite. He had won here the start prior, beating Eternal Fizz by a length and a half, and has placed in all four career starts. With barrier 2 and a proven Urawa record, he is entitled to take plenty of beating again. |

EGAL
SHINOBU HASEGAWA 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a six-week freshening in winning form, having scored by two lengths over Terrentius at Urawa after also beating Seiun Azur by five lengths the start prior. Those consecutive local wins are hard to ignore, and she has two wins from six starts at this track and distance. The distance query is noted, but current form gives her a strong winning case. |

ALJANAH
HIROTSUGU OZAWA 3YO DK B COLT 56.0KG Has been safely held in both runs this campaign, finishing second last at Funabashi last start behind Flower Flora when beaten over 14 lengths. His ninth at Urawa before that was little better, beaten over 13 lengths by Awesome Sienne after failing to finish it off. Track-and-trip credentials are some help, but the recent form demands a sharp turnaround. |
4 AOI SHINOYA |

THINKING REVE
HIRONORI UNOKI 3YO BAY COLT 54.0KG Last start at Kawasaki was well below the mark, finishing eighth behind Fulmine Bianco and beaten a long way after giving away a big start. He had made late ground when fifth to Awesome Sienne at Urawa before that, and his two wins from five starts at this track and distance are relevant. Needs to rebound, but the local record keeps him in the minor-money mix. |
5 YOSHIMI NAKASHIMA |

VIP LUKE
MAKI HIRAYAMA 3YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Kunihide Suzuki Was never in the picture when ninth behind Fulmine Bianco at Kawasaki, well beaten by 22 lengths after conceding a big start. The previous fourth at Funabashi was better, with some late improvement, yet he was still beaten seven lengths. A past Urawa track-and-trip win is a positive, but he needs to improve substantially on the latest evidence. |
6 YUJIRO TANABATA |

ESPLENDOR
MAKI HIRAYAMA 3YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Recent form reads poorly, with a last placing behind Vuelo Oscuras at Kawasaki when well beaten by 22 lengths after settling rearward and weakening. He was also last at Urawa two back behind Awesome Sienne, beaten over 15 lengths and never likely. His track and distance wins provide historical context, but current form leaves him hard to recommend. |
7 TAKEHIRO KASANO |

UKIYONO MESSIAH
NAOTO MIZUKAMI 3YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a six-week freshening after a narrow but determined Urawa win, holding on by a nose over M T Raika at generous odds. She had been close enough but unable to quicken over 800m before that, so the return to this trip clearly helped. With one win from two starts at the distance and a solid overall place record, she is a genuine winning hope again. |

BILANCIA
SATOSHI KOKUBO 3YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Resumes from a three-month break after finishing last behind Sea Of Stars at Urawa, beaten over 13 lengths despite settling just off the lead. His fourth to G T Pudding the run prior was more competitive without being threatening. The maiden record is the obvious concern, but three placings from eight starts at this track and distance give him place claims fresh. |
9 HARUHISA SANO |

| 10 | 5283x |
BEAR TOOTH
Satoru Furusawa 3YO BAY GELDING 56.0KG Resumes from a three-month break after finishing third to Mel Dore at Funabashi over 1200m, beaten six and a half lengths and only battling on. The start prior at Kawasaki was just fair, but he has placed five times from eleven career starts and has a Urawa placing from his only visit. The rise in trip is the query, though he has enough consistency to run into a place. |
10 WADA JOJI |

BARCAROLLE
TOMOYUKI FUJIHARA 3YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing ninth behind Golden Comanche at Urawa, beaten over 14 lengths when offering little after travelling within range. She was also ninth over 800m the start prior, and that form ties in poorly against Takaichi Shohei and Ukiyono Messiah. A track-and-trip win is in the book, but recent efforts leave her with work to do. |
11 GENKI FUJIMOTO |
|
| 12 | 38068 |
PATTSUN DRESS
Hiroyuki Mogi 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Settled prominently but faded to finish eighth behind Vuelo Oscuras at Kawasaki, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. Her previous sixth behind King Sukeyo over 900m was similar in shape, travelling handy before weakening late. She has placed at Urawa before, but current form suggests she must sustain her effort much better to be competitive. |
12 NIIHARA SHUMA |
|
| 13 | 25080 |
GOLD AMULET
HIROTSUGU OZAWA 3YO BAY COLT 55.0KG Latest effort at Funabashi was a major concern, finishing second last behind Danon Mustang and tailed off over 1600m at big odds. He had worked home fairly without threatening at Urawa before that, beaten over 13 lengths by Awesome Sienne. Coming back in trip helps his setup, but his recent margins make him one of the harder runners to support. |
