Urawa Race 6 - Race 6 - 1500
M T RAIKA (3) Resuming after a break. Missed by a narrow margin last start here. Winning appeal. SANTA ANA WIND (9) First run back from a break. Won narrowly last start around here. Right in this. DIOMEDES (7) Finished 4th last start at the track. Can make a comeback. Tsubasa Sasagawa and Satoshi Kokubo command respect as a pairing. Will be positive in the run early. Has scope so do not ignore. SAYONO BIG ALMA (10) Not up to scratch when 10th last run at the track. Likely to settle back in the field. Worth a ticket.

Finished last at this track four weeks ago, beaten over 16 lengths by Grazie after settling rearward and weakening further in a poor run to the line. The start prior was no better, finishing second last behind Fernanda and beaten over 18 lengths at long odds. She has yet to place from five attempts around 1500m, so a sharp form reversal is required.

Backs up quickly after finishing sixth at Kawasaki five days ago, beaten over 12 lengths by Riko Typhon after never looking a winning hope. He was also second last in a COND at Kawasaki two runs ago, beaten over 14 lengths by Auftakt. Although he kept going last time, his recent figures leave him with plenty to find.

Returns from a lengthy spell with an excellent record to lean on, having one win and four places from six starts overall. He was last seen missing by a nose at this track when heavily backed into very short odds-on territory, closing powerfully behind Ukiyono Messiah. That followed a nine-length win over Yagiri Pearl at this venue, and his 1500m profile makes him a major player fresh.

Has been well held in two recent Funabashi runs, most recently ninth behind Teruken Yumito Ken and beaten over 16 lengths after settling rearward. He was last there the start prior behind Fluorite. The overall win record is a concern, but he has placed at this track and distance, which gives him some minor-money appeal if he lifts.

Was tenth at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Grazie after giving away a big start and never entering the race. Her previous run was also well below the mark, finishing second last behind Ravi's Dream and beaten over 17 lengths. With 82 career starts and no placing from 20 attempts at this track and distance, others make stronger appeal.

Finished tenth at this track four weeks ago, beaten just under nine lengths by Infanta after settling rearward and making no impression. Two back she was second last at Kawasaki, beaten over 18 lengths by Oriko Paradise. The return of a winning rider is a positive and she has won at this track and trip, but the recent form caps her as a place hope.

Produced the right third-up platform when fourth in a COND at this track, beaten a length and a half by Victoria Lily at generous odds. His previous run at Funabashi was plain, but he is fitter now and returns to a venue where he has already won. With Tsubasa Sasagawa aboard for the leading Satoshi Kokubo stable, he looks well placed to take another step forward.

Finished last at this track last start, well held behind Pattsun Dress after racing a fair way off the leader and failing to come into contention. The run prior was another plain ninth behind Golden Comanche, beaten over 14 lengths. She has won at this venue, but the current form line is thin and a place is the realistic target.

Returns from a lengthy spell off a determined win at this track, driving hard late to beat Kuu Lei Nani by a nose at generous odds. Her previous Funabashi run was only fair when sixth as a well-supported favourite, but the broader record is strong with five wins around 1500m and four wins in the past 12 months. She has the right substance to run boldly fresh.

Was unwanted in the market and beaten over 19 lengths behind Victoria Lily at this track last start, with no clear excuse offered. His second-last finish behind Golden Comanche two back was also plain after conceding a huge start. A past win at this venue gives him some historical credit, but current form leaves him looking up against it.

Finished last at Kawasaki one week ago, well held behind Mitono Teio after sitting near the leading division and dropping right out in the run home. The start prior was even more concerning, beaten out of sight at this track over 2000m. He has been unplaced in all 14 starts in the past 12 months, so major improvement is required.
