Urawa Race 6 - Race 6 - 2000

EXCEL GRAND (8) First up specialist. Ran away with a win by 5L last start around here and suited at this trip historically. Change in trainer. Can go through the gears. Will give a big sight. MEETHAQ (6) Had a comfortable win by 3L last run at Funabashi and back to an increased distance. Jockey Hotaru Tokoro and trainer Taito Mori work well together. Winnable race. MEISHO TOWANI (2) First up after a break. Ran 6th last run at this track. Has the potential to improve sharply and has a good draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Worth a ticket. G T UTAMARO (11) Was competitive when 2nd last run at this venue and going up in distance. Jockey Tsubasa Sasagawa and trainer Satoshi Kokubo are a formidable team. Won't be far away.

Returns from a one-month let-up after producing her best recent effort, winning a C3 at this track by four lengths from Win Oasis. The run prior had merit too, closing from a long way back when fifth to Lumina Victor despite being unwanted in the market. She has two wins at around 2000m and the winning rider stays with her, so another honest showing is well within reach.

Returns from a three-month break after ending the campaign with a sixth at this track, beaten just over seven lengths behind Lumina Victor when near the top of betting. Her previous second to O Shin Bouquet was sound without being sharp, and she has placed four times from nine attempts at this track and distance. Fresh, she shapes more as a placing chance than a runner to declare.

Backs up after finishing last at Kawasaki over 1400m, where he was in contention before dropping right out and was sent around at long odds. The start prior at this track over 800m was only fair, beaten seven lengths in a COND. He has won at this venue, but this is his first run around 2000m and his recent figures leave plenty to find.

Finished a distant last at this track over 1400m last start, with no clear excuse after coming under pressure late at big odds. Two back at Funabashi he was sixth, beaten just over seven lengths, also at long odds. He has been unplaced in two previous tries around 2000m and must turn his form around sharply to trouble these.

Has not fired in two runs since winning form, finishing eighth at this track last start when beaten over 11 lengths and only fair through the line. The strength of his case is the set-up: two wins from five starts at this track and distance, plus a perfect one-from-one record with this jockey. If he returns to his better 2000m form, he is a legitimate winning chance.

Made the right statement third-up when winning a COND at Funabashi by three lengths from Baby Maybe, having been near the top of betting. That was a clean rebound from a plain Chukyo Mdn run, and he now has fitness, confidence and the winning rider all in his favour. With one win and one placing from six starts, he still has upside and profiles as the horse to beat.

Back after a one-month break following a first-up last at this track over 800m, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds. Her final run of the previous campaign was similarly plain, but the positive is a return to conditions where she has won and the rider has one win and one placing from three rides on her. A rebound is required, yet the 2000m set-up gives her place claims.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a dominant C2C3 win at this track, scoring by five lengths from Invention as favourite. He had earlier been beaten over 12 lengths by Siva Shin in C3 grade despite starting odds-on, so the profile has a small caution attached. Four wins and one placing from eight runs around 2000m make him a serious top-three prospect fresh.

Has been well beaten at consecutive starts, most recently ninth at this track when beaten over 14 lengths behind Beach Girl after settling back and making no impression. The Funabashi run prior was much the same, beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. He has won around 2000m, but current form is a long way from the level required.

Was never a factor at Funabashi last start, conceding a huge start and finishing ninth, beaten over 15 lengths behind Watzmann. His previous sixth behind Yuomaishin had more merit from the back, but he remains a 66-start maiden with only seven placings. That profile makes him hard to recommend despite the occasional better closing effort.

Nearly broke through at this track last start, leading before being caught late by Terrentius and finishing second, beaten a length and a half as a well-supported favourite. That was a clear lift on the Chukyo Mdn run prior, where he settled back and finished second last. The first attempt around 2000m is the obvious question, but the recent Urawa effort and strong stable-rider combination make him a major player.

Returns from a one-month let-up after finishing last at this track over 1500m, beaten over 12 lengths when unwanted in the market. He was also safely held here two back, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds, and is unplaced from four starts at this venue. Third-up fitness is some help, but his recent form demands a substantial lift.
