Urawa Race 12 - Urawa Japan B2
HAKUSHIN DRAGON (5) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 2 lengths last time out over 2000m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. RED GATE (3) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 2000m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Leading player again. ROCK FLAVOR (9) is back from a spell of five-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 2000m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. BELGARATH (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 2000m at Kawasaki. Good enough on his day and can play a prominent role.

At the latest run 9th of 12 at this track on December 24 over 1500m, 9 len behind Riko Sparrow with 55kg at $26.30. The run before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on November 28 over 1500m, 0.8 len behind Blazing Heat carrying 57kg at $5.30. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; won by 2 len at this track December 24 over 2000m defeating Summer Story carrying 57kg at $2.30. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on November 25 over 2000m, 2 len behind Beach Girl with 56kg at $2.40. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.

Second run back. First-up after four months crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 5th of 12 at this track on December 24 over 2000m, 9 len behind Lysine carrying 55kg at $19.70. Previously second-up won by 2 len at this track July 22 over 2000m defeating Manacor carrying 57kg at $1.20. Needs to lift.
