Urawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1500
KEN SIRIUS (6) has the strongest profile despite resuming, having won at Urawa before the break after a debut second behind Century Star. He has yet to miss a place and the market confidence around his latest win gives that form real authority. COSMO TIAMO (5) is the obvious danger after improving sharply to win over 1300m here as a well-supported favourite, though the rise to 1500m is the new test. ENERGY HIDDEN (1) is still a maiden, but three placings from three starts and a last-start second to Vuela Grande make him a reliable player for the minors. SEVEN SWORD (4) is harder to trust after being beaten over 15 lengths here, yet his debut win by three lengths shows he has enough ability to rebound into the finish.

Led and was only run down late when second at Kawasaki last start, beaten three lengths by Vuela Grande at long odds. The run prior at Urawa was less convincing, with a third placing but a long beaten margin after being near the top of betting. Still, he has placed in all three starts, including two at this track, and barrier one should help him use his natural speed. A solid place chance with a win still to earn.

Went close at Kawasaki last start when second to Black Lizard, beaten half a length at generous odds, and that was a better piece of form than his previous fourth behind Lauro Campione. He has placed once from two attempts at this distance, but the distance query remains a genuine part of the assessment. He profiles as a minor chance if he repeats the latest run rather than one to take short odds about.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing fifth at Urawa, beaten nine lengths by Flight Doctor, when big odds and only moderate late. His previous third over 1300m here was better, as he was strong through the closing stages despite being beaten five lengths. He is still unplaced from one try at this distance and needs to find more authority late to worry the main hopes.

Returns from a two-month break after a plain ninth at Urawa, beaten over 15 lengths by Unoki Bombaye, with no clear excuse as he made no headway. That followed a debut win here over 800m, where he kicked strongly to beat G T Maroon by three lengths. The talent is there on that first run, but the latest effort leaves him needing a clear rebound to be trusted beyond place claims.

Returns from a two-month break after a decisive Urawa win over 1300m, beating Yuyu Calvados by two and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite. That was a sharp rise on his debut fifth behind Unoki Bombaye, where he was beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. He has already won at this track and can roll forward, but the rise to 1500m is the key query. Strong winning chance if he carries that improvement on.

Returns from a lengthy four-month spell with the best exposed record in the race, having won at Urawa last start by two and a half lengths from Chura Blossom as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. He had earlier run second on debut behind Century Star, beaten a length, so he has been reliable from day one. Proven at the track and trip and unbeaten out of the placings, he sets a strong standard if ready first-up.

Was well-supported favourite at Kawasaki last start but could only finish fourth, beaten six lengths by Vuela Grande, after settling handy. His debut second at Urawa behind Unoki Bombaye reads better, beaten a length after finishing strongly, and that run also ties him in through Cosmo Tiamo. He has some each-way substance, but the latest failure as favourite means he must bounce back quickly.
