Urawa Race 6 - Race 6 - 1500
KYOEI CEREZO (11) Nice run when 2nd last start at this track. Tracking very well this campaign. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Top prospects against this opposition. ASTRAL FLARE (9) Was ordinary when 10th last time here. Winning hope. NIKONIKO NICOLE (1) Just average when 12th last time around here but gets the perfect draw. Akira Harita and Shinji Kobayashi have shared plenty of success together. Should jump out and bowl along. Exotics and place chance. TONITRUS (10) Fresh after a spell. Secured the win by a slim margin last time at Kawasaki. Will be motoring home late. Capable of a running a place.

Tailed off at this track last start in a COND after settling just off the lead, and the market had little interest in her that day. The run prior is the reason she remains in the mix, having beaten Eclair Seira by two and a half lengths over 1300m at this venue when near the top of betting. Her 1500m record is a clear query, but a return to that winning effort keeps a placing within reach.

Has been well held at Funabashi at his past two, finishing tenth behind Alpino last start when beaten over 15 lengths and unwanted in the market. He did make some late ground from well back two runs ago, but that seventh still left him well short of Satono Oriental. With no wins from 25 starts and a poor 1500m record, he has a significant task to lift into contention.

Finished fifth to Terrentius at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths after being near the top of betting and only fair through the line. That followed a well-beaten seventh in a Mdn at Niigata Dirt, so the winning case is not without qualification. Even so, this set-up is kinder, and from barrier three he has enough recent substance to be one of the better chances.

Comes back quickly after finishing tenth over 2000m at Kawasaki, beaten over 14 lengths when unwanted in the market and weak late. His previous second to Dona Solare was sound enough, with an even finish after being near the top of an open market. Back at 1500m, where he has placed once, he will have to reproduce the better run rather than the latest failure.

Has offered little at her past two starts, finishing second last over 900m at Kawasaki when big odds and making no impression from well back. The run prior was no better at Funabashi, where she was ninth and beaten a long way in a COND. She is unplaced from 14 starts overall and has yet to place around 1500m, leaving her with plenty to find.

Produced a much better effort at this track last start, finishing third to Aeolian Ridge in a COND after tracking the speed and working home evenly, despite being unwanted in the market. Two back he was beaten over 13 lengths, so the key is holding that latest level. He has placed four times at this venue and three times around 1500m, which gives him a strong each-way base here.

Led first-up at this track before finishing eighth behind Terrentius, beaten six and a half lengths, and the market gave him little encouragement. His earlier last placing behind Ryuno Legacy was plain, but he has some second-up scope and has placed at this venue before. The 1500m record is modest, so he profiles more as a minor-money hope than a strong winning option.

Resumed with an eighth at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by Takaichi Nadal after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. His previous third behind Jailbreak at this venue was more encouraging, but that was back in June. He is proven at 1500m and has a solid overall place record, yet his latest performance leaves him requiring a sharp turnaround.

Has a strong enough overall profile, including three wins this season and a win around 1500m, but his current form has tapered off. He was tenth at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths, after also being well held by L'Oiseaubleu Chinu the run prior. The proven track-and-trip credentials stop him being dismissed completely, but recent evidence points to place-at-best claims.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his last preparation with a C3 win at Kawasaki, beating Velos by a head after picking up sharply late. He had also worked home fairly when sixth behind Crisp Of War at this track two weeks earlier. First-up fitness is the obvious unknown, but two wins around this distance and a recent winning profile keep him firmly in the placing mix.

Went within half a length of winning at this track last start, fighting hard after holding a slight advantage as a well-supported favourite. That followed another second in C3 company at Funabashi, so her consistency is clearly superior to most of these. With strong career figures, an excellent record at this venue and proven 1500m form, she sets the standard and looks ready to convert.
