Urawa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
WAVES LEAPS (8) Did a good job when winning by 1 1/2L last start around here and promising career start. The wide gate shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Will go close today. TAKAMINOGAKOI (3) Came in 9th last start at Funabashi and down in distance. Has a great burst of speed late. Capable of a running a place. GOLD TOPIARY (10) Ran 2nd last start at Funabashi and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Performing impressively since resuming from a break. Can fill a place in this field. KITANO DON CARLO (6) Came in 6th last start at this track. Finishes off strongly. Would like to see betting push before considering.

Put a plain first-up run behind her when winning by two and a half lengths in a C2 at this track, working into the race smoothly before putting Shinano Shogun away. She had been last and beaten over 17 lengths at this venue the start prior, so consistency remains the reservation, but two wins from four at this track and distance and Akira Harita staying aboard give her a strong winning case.

Closed off from well back for fifth at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths by Go On Purpose after never looking a serious winning threat. Her previous fifth behind Smile Thrive was sounder, beaten three and a half lengths, and she has two wins at around 1400m. She profiles as a place hope rather than a runner with the same winning edge as the top few.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing ninth over 1800m at Funabashi, beaten nine and a half lengths when unable to make any impression from the rear. Two back he was second over 1600m, albeit beaten six lengths by Cellist at big odds. Back to a distance where he has a win and two placings from five attempts, he can improve enough to chase a minor cheque.

Was only fair through the line when fifth at Funabashi last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Light Curtain after starting an outside chance in betting. His second to Abelia Face two back reads better, but that still came at generous odds and he has just one win from 22 starts overall. A repeat of the prior placing would help, but his latest run leaves him with ground to make up.

Has been safely held at both recent runs at this track, finishing eighth behind Tranquil Light last start when beaten over 11 lengths after going around at big odds. He was sixth to Vallumnos before that after conceding a huge start and always having too much to do. His track-and-distance record is respectable, but current form says he must find a fair bit more.

Was well found in betting when sixth behind Tranquil Light at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths, and that leaves him with something to prove. The run prior at Niigata Dirt was a well-held Mdn effort over 1800m, so the recent form is not polished. Even so, the market respect around him and his assessed profile keep him right among the main winning chances.

Recent form is the concern after a 12th at Funabashi, beaten over 19 lengths by Zen Soleil, following a second-last there when he dropped out sharply in the straight. His record at this track and around 1400m is far stronger than those efforts suggest, and Ryo Novata going on is a plus, but he has to rediscover that older form quickly.

Made it three wins from as many starts when resuming with a length-and-a-half success at this track, beating Edono Beat In as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. His previous win came in a COND at this venue, where he extended cleanly to beat Fornacalia. Perfect at this track and distance, with Tsubasa Sasagawa and Kenichi Shigeta in strong local form, he sets the standard again.

Finished sixth at Funabashi last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Light Curtain after having a lot of ground to make up and never becoming a factor. She had also been eighth over 1200m at the same venue the run prior at long odds. Steps back to 1400m with no placing from her only previous try around the trip, so a clear form turnaround is required.

Comes through consistent Funabashi form, most recently second to Komasa when beaten seven lengths after working home evenly. Her third to Daisen Sirius two back was stronger, beaten just under a length after being pipped late, and she has placed in seven of 10 starts overall. First look at this venue is a small unknown, but her reliability gives her realistic place claims.
