Urawa Race 6 - Urawa C3
ORI'S GENIE (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Sits handy in the run. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. GENOVA FLAVOR (4) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when third. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. TAKAICHI NADAL (9) stuck on well to finish second last start over 1500m at this track, beaten half a length. Likely improver with strong prospects. VIP ARIEL (7) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.

Returns from a 45-day let-up. Last start ran last of 14 at Funabashi on June 2 over 1800m, 44 len behind Bulkhead with 56kg at $105.40. The start before that couldn't go on with it; ran second last of 13 at Funabashi on May 5 over 1800m, 28 len behind Raffaella Angel with 56kg at $76.20. This looks too tough.

Most recently rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 8 at this track on June 26 over 1400m, 2 len behind Felice Rally carrying 54kg at $5.90. The race before that faded in the straight ran second last of 12 at Funabashi on June 5 over 1500m, 13 len behind Surge carrying 54kg at $48.60. Not far off the winner latest and looks a genuine hope.
