Urawa Race 9 - Urawa Japan B3
TOSEN GEMINI (5) hasn't raced since finishing second over 1500m at this track 11 weeks ago. Goes very well when fresh with three wins from six starts and placed in her last first-up run. Top chance here. CAPTAIN BLUE (8) turned in a handy position before finishing third last start over 1500m at this track, beaten one length as favourite. Takayuki Yano gets the best out of this three-year-old gelding. Expect another forward display. YUKIGUNI (2) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Makes plenty of appeal. MIRACLE RUNBACK (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when seventh over 1600m at Funabashi. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.

Entire returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation third of 10 at this track July 25 over 1500m, 3 len behind Spencer Barows with 55kg at $6.10. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.0 len this track June 25 over 1500m defeating Candelaria with 56kg at $38.40. Look for a bold run.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. At the latest run 7th of 13 at Funabashi on October 1 over 1600m, 9 len behind Hoshino Suna carrying 53kg at $37.60.

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign second of 10 at this track August 18 over 1500m, 1.5 len behind Inadahime with 54kg at $2.10. First up last campaign second of 12 at this track April 22 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Shinto Hanano Boss carrying 54kg at $2.30. Could prove too smart for these.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 11 at this track on September 26 over 1500m, 1.0 len behind Jo Toby with 53kg at $2.30. The start before that favourite; won by 1.0 len at Funabashi August 27 over 1600m defeating Brain True with 57kg at $12.30. Ideally placed to play a significant role.
