Urawa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400

KEN BLENHEIM (9) Came in 4th last time at this venue. Should bounce back. Jockey Tsubasa Sasagawa and trainer Kenichi Shigeta deserve serious attention. Appears well in this. CELLIST (1) Finished 5th last start at Funabashi. Has the talent to rebound quickly and has minimal work to do from the draw. Going well this campaign. Looks promising in this race. HO O PARADE (4) Back after break of 26 weeks. Was competitive when 3rd last run at the track. Respect against this field. SMILE THRIVE (6) Ran 8th last start at this venue. Will be positive in the run early. Must be considered.

Led and was run down late when fifth over 1600m at Funabashi, beaten six and a half lengths as an odds-on favourite, so the market expectation was clearly higher than the result. His previous third at Funabashi was much better, beaten just over a length, and his overall record is strong. Back to 1400m with Kenji Okamura returning, he has the profile to hold a place in the finish.

Recent 1200m form is plain, finishing second last at Funabashi last start after giving away a big start and never entering the contest. He was also beaten over 12 lengths there the run prior when unwanted in the market. One previous 1400m try produced no placing, and even with Nakano Kazuma back aboard he has to improve sharply.

Worked home fairly from an impossible position when seventh at this track last start, beaten six lengths at big odds, but he was never a winning threat. The run prior was another safely held effort in B3C1 grade, also at this venue. His 1400m record shows past capability, yet he is unplaced in ten starts across the past 12 months and must rediscover old form.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a third at this track, beaten five lengths when sent out favourite. Before that he won a C1 at Kawasaki, beating Facet by half a length after letting down strongly. The 1400m record is more solid than dominant, but his seasonal form, rider record and consistency make him a strong winning chance fresh.

Failed to quicken after tracking the speed when ninth at Funabashi last start, beaten over 13 lengths at long odds, which is difficult to overlook. The run prior had more merit, finishing third in a C1 at Funabashi and beaten just under two lengths. A return to 1400m suits on his record, but recent inconsistency leaves him short of the main hopes.

Was only fair through the line when eighth at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths after starting near the top of an open market. His previous Kawasaki second in C1 grade was stronger, beaten a length by Aoi Hanamichi after being run down late. With two wins at this track and distance and an excellent record with Ryo Novata, he can rebound strongly.

Was handy enough at Funabashi last start but failed to finish off, running seventh and beaten just over seven lengths at big odds. Two back he was beaten over 12 lengths in B2B3 grade at this track after making no headway. The return to 1400m is more suitable and his track record is sound, but his recent form leaves a fair gap to bridge.

Comes back on a one-week turnaround after finishing 12th at Kawasaki, beaten just over eight lengths after settling rearward and making no impact. His previous tenth there was similar, despite starting near the top of an open market. Takayuki Yano has an excellent record on him, and that keeps him in place calculations, but the quick back-up asks for a better response.

Lifted second-up when fourth in B3C1 company at this track, beaten five and a half lengths as favourite, and now comes to his third run of the campaign with a class drop in his favour. His resuming ninth was plain, but his overall record is solid and he has already won at this track and distance. With Tsubasa Sasagawa aboard for a strong stable, he gets the right set-up to win.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a disappointing 11th at this track, beaten over 13 lengths when unwanted in the market. Her earlier Kawasaki eighth was more respectable, beaten just under five lengths, but she still went winless from three runs for the season. The track-and-distance record is the clear positive, though she must return in far better order.

Finished a long way off them when second last over 1600m at Funabashi, beaten over 14 lengths after settling handy, so that performance was well below his best. He had also been only fair through the line over 1200m the start before. The counter is a dominant 1400m record of eight wins and five placings from 13 starts, which gives him genuine place appeal if he turns his form around.

Recent efforts have been well below the required level, finishing last at Funabashi over 1000m last start after being well back throughout and beaten over 12 lengths. She was also last there two back, beaten over 16 lengths at big odds. The step to 1400m is at least familiar, but she is unplaced in nine starts over the past 12 months and others appeal more.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing seventh at this track, beaten seven and a half lengths when asked to make up too much ground. His previous run was much stronger, winning a C1 at this venue by a head from Win Briller after picking up sharply. A wide barrier is not ideal for a fresh run, but his track-and-trip profile keeps him in the place mix.
