Urawa Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
ALVAREZ (7) Fresh today. Was first to greet the judge when winning by 2 1/2L last start at the track on a heavy surface. Jockey Aoi Shinoya has been successful before. Can measure up to this company. TWENTY FOR (6) Resuming after a break. Unimpressive effort when 12th last run here. Has plenty of early speed. Strong chance. CITRUS FLAVOR (3) Resuming. Was all too good winning by 1L last run at the track and hard to fault at this trip. Shows good early pace. Will be competitive. SPENCER BAROWS (5) Did well when 3rd last time at this venue but back to a shorter trip. Recent form of the stable is strong and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Solid each way claims.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with an eighth at this track, beaten just over five lengths by Siena No Palio after settling rearward at generous odds. The run prior at Ohi was also only fair when fifth over 2000m. He has won at this track and distance and Mai Fukuhara has a good record on him, but recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Has been safely held in two recent Funabashi runs over 1200m, finishing fifth in a B2 last start when beaten five and a half lengths by Maile Lei after settling rearward. Two back he was closer, beaten two lengths by Moira, but was unwanted in betting. The class drop, light weight and prior success at this track help, so he profiles as a genuine place chance rather than a strong win play.

Returns from a four-month break after a good final run last campaign, when he beat Hanachirusato by a length in a B2B3 at this track at double-figure odds. That win came after a fair seventh behind Alvarez, and he has since been beaten by key rivals in this line. His track-and-distance record is strong, so he has each-way claims if ready to reproduce that latest effort fresh.

Back after one month following a better run at this track, where he finished second to Elgar over 800m and was beaten a length at long odds after knuckling down late. The start prior was a sound sixth over the same short trip. He has won three times around 1400m and reunites with a successful rider, but the jump back to this trip has to be handled to make him a live threat.

Back after one month and now second-up after placing at this track over 2000m, albeit beaten just over seven lengths by Jun Victoire when well found in betting. His previous B1 fourth behind Inadahime was stronger, beaten two and a half lengths, and the return to 1400m is significant given his five wins around the trip. That proven distance record makes him a major danger.

Returns from a five-month break after a plain end to last campaign, finishing second last at this track when beaten over 12 lengths by Ken Kiitos after leading into the lane and tiring badly. Her Kawasaki sixth before that was also well held. The counter is a solid track-and-distance record, including one win and three placings from six attempts, which keeps her a minor hope if sharper fresh.

Returns from a four-month break after a dominant winning streak, most recently scoring by two and a half lengths over Belgarath in a B2 at this track as favourite. He had won by three lengths at this venue the run prior and owns two wins and two placings from four attempts at this track and distance. With four wins from four rides for Aoi Shinoya, he brings the strongest winning profile.

Returns off a five-week freshening after finishing fifth in a COND at Nagoya, beaten six and a half lengths by God Baroque when unwanted in betting after being run down late. His previous third at this track behind Orwell was more relevant, and two wins plus two placings from four starts at this track and distance reads strongly. Back in this setting, he is a serious winning chance.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing third at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Ken Kiitos after settling rearward. He had earlier run sixth in a B2 at Funabashi, working home only fairly behind Hiraboku Laugh It. His last-12-month record is solid and he beat Spencer Barows at this venue in that earlier campaign, though his overall win strike-rate points more to a place profile.

Was safely held at Ohi last start, finishing sixth in a B1 and beaten just under six lengths by Nine Esquire at long odds after failing to quicken. Two back he placed at Ohi, but the margin was eight and a half lengths behind Touch Wood. The class drop and race fitness are positives, yet his record around 1400m is limited to placings and others look stronger.
