Last two Urawa runs were heavy defeats at long odds. Barrier one helps, but recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Last-start Kawasaki winner with a solid prior second at this venue. Still chasing a 1200m win, but her current form is the best in the race.

Back from five weeks and returns to a winning track-and-distance set-up. Recent margins were plain, but the class drop makes him dangerous.

Freshened since a midfield run here and has won at this track and distance, but recent efforts have lacked the spark required.

Recent runs have been well below winning standard, but an overall placing record keeps him in the minor-money mix only.

Beaten a long way at huge odds in her past two. Hard to see enough improvement on exposed form.

Back after five weeks with strong Funabashi 1200m credentials and a proven rider partnership. Latest third keeps him right in the race.

Freshened since a distant third, but the three-length win here two runs back is strong enough to keep him in the chances.

Back after five weeks second-up, but two straight distant lasts leave him hard to entertain despite prior track-and-distance form.

Last start was flat at Urawa, but her prior track-and-distance win gives her a solid bounce-back place profile.

Second-up after failing as a very short favourite here. Class drop and strong stable are positives, but she must finish it off better.

Back after five weeks with a couple of track-and-distance placings, but the maiden record and latest margin are major concerns.
