Urawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
MIKONO DEBANDA (7) Resumes after a 73 week spell. Close to a win last run at this track. Can go on with it. KITASAN EPONA (3) Racing fresh after a break. Competitive effort when 3rd last run here on a heavy surface but back to a shorter trip. Kenichi Shigeta stable are on fire recently. Up to these. CIEL RISE (6) Got the cash when winning by 3/4L last start at Kawasaki and form has been improving over recent runs. Producing consistent results this preparation. Can get the job done. TOKEN GIN ROCK (2) Got the upper hand late when winning by a nose last time at Monbetsu and will try to take advantage of the alley. Racing for a new trainer. Sound chances.

Returns from a two-month freshening with recent form that is hard to recommend. Finished ninth at Ohi last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Peisha Kelly after settling rearward and failing to make ground, and had been last there the run prior when beaten over 17 lengths. One unplaced try around this distance adds another concern, so a sharp turnaround is required.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a genuine C3 win at Mombetsu, where he held Queen's Monaka by a nose and was near the top of an open market. He had been fourth to Emma Diamond in the same grade two weeks earlier, so the form has a solid base. Around 1400m is new ground, but he comes through the right races, draws well and looks a strong winning chance.

Returns from a lengthy spell after closing last campaign with a third at this track, beaten five and a half lengths by O Shin Bouquet, having tried hard after holding a narrow lead. Her record around 1400m is a major plus, with five wins and eight placings from 24 attempts, and she has also won at this track and trip. Freshness is the query, but she has clear place credentials.

Returns from a one-month let-up after finishing sixth at this track, beaten five and a half lengths by Takaichi Nadal when prominent without finding enough late. She had been safely held at Funabashi before that, though she did keep working after being left with too much to do. A track-and-trip win and a perfect distance record keep her in the place mix if she improves on the latest pair.

Ran second in a COND at this track last start, but was beaten six lengths by Willy's Rock at big odds and only battled home after having the drop on the leaders. The start prior was a tenth here, beaten just under ten lengths after failing to make ground. A class drop is some help, though she remains a maiden with limited winning evidence.

Has built neatly through this campaign and broke through at Kawasaki last week, beating Kitano Chance by just under a length after finding plenty late. That followed a second to Mitono Teio in a COND, so the current form is reliable. The quick back-up is the only real reservation, but he has two wins around this trip and arrives with strong winning claims.

Returns from a lengthy spell with only two race starts behind her, but both were at this venue and both read well. She won on debut by five lengths from Pieta, then was beaten a neck by Presto Wonder as favourite at her final run before the break after fighting hard. The absence is significant, yet her clean early record makes her a genuine place hope if forward enough.

Won a C3 at this track last start, scoring by a neck from Lucetta on good ground after being only an outside chance in betting. Her previous fourth at Funabashi was sound enough, and the broader profile is strong with four wins from 19 starts and three wins from 11 around 1400m. With the winning rider back, she has the substance to be right in the finish.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a ninth at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by Takaichi Shohei after conceding a huge start. The win here two back was much better, defeating Splendidus by seven lengths, but he is unplaced from three starts at this track and distance. The best is good enough to note, though the latest run leaves him with plenty to prove.

Was sixth at Funabashi last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Kurino Cenote after giving away a big start, and his previous run was a tenth there when beaten over 11 lengths by Attract Run. The 50-start maiden record is difficult to get past, even with a few placings along the way. Others bring far stronger recent form.

Returns from a three-month break after a very plain finish to last campaign, ending with a last at this track when well beaten by 21 lengths by Egal. She had also disappointed as an odds-on favourite the run before, finishing seventh after being swamped late. A track win from three starts is the one positive, but she has to show far more resilience this time.
