Urawa Race 8 - Urawa C1

VINA LAO CAI (1) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Ideally placed and is set to keep the momentum going. BLACK EMPIRE (5) finished 5 lengths back in third over 800m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give a great sight. MIZU RULER (6) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 800m at this track. Look for a better run this time out. CEPHEID LOOP (9) was safely held when fourth last time out over 800m at this track, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 11 at this track on June 24 over 800m, 5 len behind Esperado carrying 56kg at $7.20. The start before that won by a neck at this track May 28 over 800m defeating Stella Boulogne with 56kg at $1.90. Plenty to like about his prospects.
