Urawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1500
BEILSTEIN (10) Back from a break. Was fighting out the finish when winning by a head last time at Saga. First appearance for a new trainer. Must respect. FERNANDA (6) Tidy run when 2nd last time here. Tsubasa Sasagawa and Satoshi Kokubo have shared plenty of success together. Looking sharp on the track since returning from a break. A win wouldn't surprise. DANCING RASCAL (2) Ran 7th last run at this venue. Capable of a strong comeback and drawn nicely. Jockey Akira Harita and trainer Shinji Kobayashi must be respected as a team. Strong chance. BRILLANT AUBE (8) First up after a break. Struggled when 8th last run here. The wide barrier shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Capable of a big run.

Returns from a one-month freshening after two plain 800m runs at this track, most recently finishing tenth behind Live Radian when beaten over 11 lengths at long odds. The run prior was little better, coming second last to Kurino William and unwanted in the market. The class drop offers some context, but she must show far more than recent figures suggest.

Disappointed as a well-fancied runner last start when seventh at this track behind Go On Purpose, beaten nine and a half lengths after finding others stronger late. His previous run was far more convincing, winning a C2 by four lengths from Yoruno Cho as a well-supported favourite. With four wins around 1500m and the winning rider back, he can bounce into the placings.

Produced a much better effort last start when second at this track behind Waves Leaps, beaten a length and a half after settling rearward. That was a clear return to form after being beaten over 18 lengths at Funabashi the run prior. He has placed three times from six starts at this venue, though the modest winning strike rate makes him a stronger place prospect than win play.

Second-up on a one-week back-up after finishing eighth at Kawasaki, beaten over 14 lengths when unwanted in the market and never getting into the race. The quick return asks a question, but his broader profile is sound: a B3 fourth two runs back, two distance placings from two tries and a good place record with Naoki Machida. He is capable of sharp improvement.

Was safely held at Funabashi last start when eighth behind Kitasan Riser, beaten over 14 lengths at long odds after never looking likely. The start prior produced a fourth in a COND, but he was still beaten over 10 lengths and unwanted in betting. The winning rider returns, yet his recent margins leave him with plenty to find.

Comes through the right form lines, finishing second to Go On Purpose at this track last start after having plenty to do and still closing strongly into the money. That followed a dominant C2 win at this venue, where she beat Shinano Shogun by four lengths as a short odds-on favourite. With a strong career record, three placings from three at this track and distance, and leading stable support, she sets the standard.

Finished sixth at Funabashi last start over 1200m, beaten just over seven lengths after settling prominently and fading late. He was also sixth there the run prior and has been going around at big odds. The return to 1500m is at least suitable on his old record, but being unplaced from 17 starts in the past 12 months is a major concern.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign eighth at this track, beaten just over four lengths when conceding a huge start and only fair through the line. The run prior was a sound second at Kawasaki behind G T Agleam, and his distance record is a positive with one win and four places from seven starts. Fresh, he profiles as a genuine minor chance.

Has been well held in two recent Funabashi 1200m runs, finishing second last to Bricks Latte last start when beaten over 12 lengths and unwanted in the market. He was also safely beaten by Mel Dore the run prior. Steps back to 1500m, where his previous record shows no wins or placings, and the first look at this venue adds another hurdle.

Returns from a five-month break with a strong winning profile, having closed last campaign with consecutive COND wins at Saga. He beat Viator by four lengths as an odds-on favourite, then drove late to score by a neck from Goigoisu. Now with Takashi Mizuno and holding an excellent 1500m record, the first look at this track is manageable within a very strong overall case.
