Urawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1500
ORIGINAL PATTERN (4) Competed in a tight contest last run at this venue. Should race on the speed. Can go on with it. HARMONY ROI (9) Was fighting out the finish when winning last start around here. Expect to go close. YUKIGUNI (5) First up after 36 weeks and shot clear to win by a margin of 3L first up last preparation at the track. Should come to hand quickly. Serious player. FUKUCHAN KING (7) Ran 4th last time at this track. Hiirou Muro is a key booking. Will be trying to topple them late. Don't overlook.

Was safely held in sixth at Funabashi last start in B1B2 company, beaten just over seven lengths after tracking the speed and failing to finish it off. The start prior was sounder, finishing fourth behind Hiraboku Laugh It when settling rearward. His 1500m record and three wins in the past 12 months keep him in the mix, but he profiles more as a place hope than a dominant winning threat.

Finished fourth at Funabashi last start but was beaten six and a half lengths at big odds and did not quicken when the race was there to be shaped. That followed a seventh at Kawasaki where she failed to come into the race. The return to a proven distance is some help, yet recent market and finishing evidence leaves her with plenty to find.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing eighth at this track in July, beaten just over seven lengths and unwanted in the market. The run prior was weaker again, finishing last and well held after making no impression. She has won at this venue previously, but the recent profile is plain and six unplaced attempts at this track and distance are a clear concern.

Returned in excellent order when second at this track in B1B2 company, beaten a neck by Eye Leads after being pipped right on the post. His previous campaign ended with a plain Ohi run, but his record at this venue is the key: three wins and three placings from six starts. Second-up, with strong course figures and a perfect jockey-horse place record, he sets the standard.

Resumes after an eight-month break with a useful track-and-distance record behind him, including two wins and one placing from four attempts. He was only beaten two and a half lengths at Kawasaki before the spell, while his earlier ninth at this venue was below his best. Fitness has to be taken on trust, but his proven 1500m credentials give him a genuine place shape.

Has been well beaten in both recent runs, finishing second last behind Eye Leads at this track after giving away a big start, then last at Kawasaki two runs back when beaten a long way. He has past wins at this venue and distance, but ten unplaced runs in the past 12 months tell the current story. A major form turnaround is required.

Ran fourth behind Eye Leads at this track last start in B1B2 grade, beaten just over five lengths after settling rearward. Two back he was more effective when third behind Muscle at this venue, working home evenly and beaten two and a half lengths. The jockey-horse record is solid and he is reliable enough for exotics, but the latest matchup says he has ground to make up.

Resumes after an eight-month break with a last-start profile that reads poorly, having finished second last at Nakayama Dirt and beaten over 17 lengths at big odds. The run prior at Tokyo Dirt was also a long way short of the mark. He has won at around 1500m and gets weight relief, but recent form leaves him with a serious task fresh.

Finished powerfully to win by a nose at this track and distance last start, scoring from Neraiuchi in B3 grade when near the top of betting. That was a clear improvement on his Funabashi seventh over 1200m, where he worked home evenly from a less suitable setup. With one win and two placings from four at this track and distance, he is a strong danger again.
