Urawa Race 8 - Urawa C2
AIR SHALLOW (9) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 1500m, beaten one length. Tricky draw but should still be in the finish. LUX LIEBEN (3) improved sharply on her seventh two starts back with success over 1500m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Confidence back and rates highly again. PALERMO FLAVOR (4) was well in the market but raced below best when fifth at this track last time. Previous form sound and may be worth another chance. SWERTIA (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign ran last of 11 at this track on April 20 over 2000m, 23 len behind Yumede Aetara carrying 56kg at $8. When resuming last campaign ran second last of 9 at this track on September 26 over 1400m, 14 len behind Palo Santo carrying 56kg at $5. This looks too tough.
