Returns from a one-month let-up after finishing sixth in a 3yo+ C1 over 1800m at Funabashi, beaten just over five lengths by Grazioso at big odds. She picked up late there, but her previous Urawa run was plain when eighth behind Miami Matsuri. Despite being a track-and-trip winner, her winless season and recent margins leave her needing a clear turnaround.

Returns from a two-month break after producing his best recent run when fourth at Urawa in a 3yo+ C1 over 1500m, beaten two and a half lengths by Smile Thrive. He had been safely held in 3yo COND grade the run prior, but his track record of one win and two placings from eight starts is a useful base. The 2000m rise is the question, though the latest effort makes him a genuine winning hope.

Broke through at Kawasaki last start, working home over the top to beat Kamikakushi by a neck in 3yo COND company over 1600m. That was a sharp rebound from a well-beaten 13th at Ohi over 1800m, where he was never a factor at long odds. Akio Mikoshi stays aboard after that win, and if he handles the further rise in trip he has the form to challenge strongly.

Returns from a one-month let-up after finishing eighth in a 3yo+ C1 at Funabashi, beaten eight and a half lengths by Grazioso after being unwanted in the market. His Urawa run before that was weaker again when second last behind Miami Matsuri. Three track-and-trip wins are noted, but the recent form is too plain to make a strong case.

Returns from a two-month break following a poor last at Urawa in a 3yo+ C2 over 1500m, beaten over 15 lengths after being unwanted in the market. Two back, he was ninth here and beaten over 12 lengths, so the recent evidence is hard to promote. The saving grace is his two wins and two placings from twelve at this track and distance, making him more a place hope than a win push.

Finished well held at Kawasaki last start in a 3yo+ C1 over 1600m, giving away a big start and never getting into the contest behind Meiner Boss. His previous Urawa sixth behind Raffaella Angel was also well beaten after not finishing off from a handier spot. The return to a winning distance helps only slightly, as his current form needs a sizeable lift.

Returns from a two-month break after a better Urawa third behind Miami Matsuri, beaten three lengths despite being unwanted in the market. That was a clear lift on her seventh in 3yo COND grade here, where she made no late impression at big odds. She has placed twice from five at this track and distance, but Meisho Fuso and Ken Betelgeuse had her covered in that latest meeting.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing second at Urawa, beaten two lengths by Miami Matsuri as favourite after being run down late. He had won a 3yo+ C2 here before that by three lengths over Miraie Hosho as odds-on favourite, and his track-and-trip record of three wins and two placings from five starts is excellent. If he repeats that local 2000m form, he is one of the main winning chances.

Made some late ground when sixth at Kawasaki in a 3yo+ C1 over 1400m, beaten four and a half lengths by Ari Happy after conceding a huge start. The run before was a plain ninth at Urawa behind Smile Thrive, and he remains unplaced from his only try at this distance. His broader Urawa record is respectable, but the 2000m rise asks a sharper finish than he has shown lately.

Comes off a deserved Funabashi win in 3yo+ C2 company over 1800m, beating Takao Smile by a length and a half after being near the top of betting. The concern is his Urawa run before that, when tenth behind Miami Matsuri and beaten over 14 lengths after weakening badly. The trip remains a query, but the latest win earns him genuine minor-money respect.

Was only battling when eighth at Kawasaki last start in a 3yo+ C1, beaten over 11 lengths by Ryu Butter after sitting just off the pace. Her previous win in 3yo+ C2C3 grade, when she beat Crow Song by a neck, keeps her in the mix for the minors. She has a strong overall record of eleven wins and ten placings from 39 starts, but needs to rebound on her first Urawa evidence.

Has been well beaten at both runs since winning three back, most recently ninth at Kawasaki over 1400m and beaten just over eight lengths by Ari Happy. He was near the top of betting two starts ago but faded to finish tenth behind Kikuno Rta. His Urawa 2000m record of three wins and two placings from eight starts gives him a place profile, provided he rediscovers his best.
