Urawa Race 9 - Urawa C2
TAKAICHI NADAL (3) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fifth last start over 1500m at this track. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. GENOVA FLAVOR (7) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing third over 1500m at this track when he was in the firing line all the way. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running a bold race. SWIFT MARY (6) did well to score two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when finishing second over 1400m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Key runner. VIP ARIEL (8) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over 1500m. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task.

At the latest run ran last of 12 at Kawasaki on July 29 over 1400m, 15 len behind Afro Gal carrying 54kg at $67.20. Before that 8th of 10 at this track on July 17 over 1400m, 11 len behind Swertia with 54kg at $8. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.
