Urawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
WILD ULURU (10) Got the prize when winning by 2 1/2L last run here. Jockey Mai Fukuhara and trainer Satoshi Kokubo deserve serious attention. Has to be included. LES DEUX ROSES (9) Made no mistakes when winning by 5L last time at Funabashi. Flawless this campaign with 2 wins from 2 runs. Has early speed and positions nicely. Genuine winning chance. WELCOME LUNCH (3) Chimed in with a win by 2 1/2L last time at Funabashi and good career start. Running with confidence since coming back from a spell. Cracking each way value. LALA BLOSSOM (11) Finished 6th last run at Funabashi. Has claims.

Had little impact at Funabashi last start, finishing tenth behind Fleur Magique after being unwanted in the market and beaten over 17 lengths. The start prior showed a different level when she beat Netsuretsu by half a length over 1200m, and the winning rider is back aboard. Even so, that latest run leaves her with plenty to repair against stronger hopes.

Resumed with a plain fifth behind Wild Uluru at this track, beaten over 12 lengths after failing to quicken when the race developed. Her previous start was much better, fighting hard to beat Way Ahead narrowly at this venue, and she does have winning form with Retsu Oikawa back aboard. A place finish is within reach if she rediscovers that sharper effort.

Drove hard late to beat Miss Melody by two and a half lengths over 1200m at Funabashi, confirming the promise in a three-start record that already includes a win and a placing. She was only fair at Mombetsu two back, but the latest win came with Takehiro Kasano aboard and he stays with her. The new 1400m trip is the question, yet her current form makes her a major threat.

Was close enough in the run at Funabashi last start but could not go on with it, finishing fourth and beaten eight lengths by Fleur Magique. She had earlier worked home evenly when fifth behind Les Deux Roses in a small field, again beaten just over seven lengths. Race fitness helps third-up, but she has not yet shown enough this campaign to worry the main chances.

Finished a long way back behind Wild Uluru at this track last start, ending up eighth and well beaten by 22 lengths at long odds. Her second to Cosmo Tiamo the run prior was more competitive, but even there she was run down after being well forward and was clearly held late. Fourth-up fitness is a small plus, though recent evidence says others have far stronger claims.

Never looked a serious winning threat when sixth behind Wild Uluru at this track, beaten over 12 lengths after lacking a change of gears. The start before gives her some place grounding, as she was third to Flight Doctor and beaten four lengths. She has placed twice from four tries around 1400m, so the trip is workable, but the win still looks a stretch.

Worked home evenly for third behind Wild Uluru at this track last start, beaten three lengths and clearly producing her most relevant recent form. Her Kawasaki run before that was more one-paced, finishing fifth and beaten over 12 lengths by Gold Monaco. With three placings from six starts and a solid record around 1400m, she profiles as a genuine place chance rather than a dominant winner.

Conceded a huge start at Funabashi last start and was only fair through the line when fifth behind Fleur Magique, beaten ten lengths after being unwanted in the market. That followed a tenth to Buridaikon where she was beaten over 20 lengths at big odds. Her record around 1400m is also plain, so she has a substantial form gap to bridge.

Returns from a two-month break with an unbeaten record to protect, having won both starts at Funabashi by big margins. She beat Lala Blossom by five lengths last time as a prohibitive odds-on favourite after putting seven lengths on Unohana on debut. The 1400m is new, but she has shown clear superiority at shorter trips and still brings one of the strongest winning profiles.

Resumed in excellent style at this track, beating Flight Doctor by two and a half lengths after keeping on strongly with plenty in hand. That made it two wins from two starts at this venue, following a debut win over 800m where she also found under pressure. Already a winner at the 1400m and partnered by Mai Fukuhara for a strong stable, she sets the standard and is the one to beat.

Worked home evenly but was no threat at Funabashi last start, finishing sixth behind Fleur Magique and beaten over 10 lengths. Two back she chased Les Deux Roses but was still five lengths astern in a small field, so the recent pattern has flattened out. Her overall record of one win and one placing from four starts keeps her in the wider mix, but only as an outside hope.

Made a sound debut at this track when second to Royal Emperor, grinding into the placings after having plenty to do in a small field. The margin was seven lengths and she started at long odds, so the run has to be kept in perspective, but she did enough to suggest improvement is possible. With one placing from one start, she can stay involved for the minors.
