Races ORM Kawasaki - JAP

Recent form is poor, with a long-odds second last at Urawa after a heavy defeat at this track. Weight relief helps, but she has plenty to find.

Returns from a freshening in very plain form, with heavy Ohi defeats and no placing from 23 starts. Hard to build a case.

Resumes after three months. Has placed three times at this track and distance, but remains winless from 11 starts and profiles as a minor hope.

Strong 1400m record offsets a fair fourth here last start. If she finishes off better than last time, she is a serious winning chance.

Latest Urawa run was poor, but the prior fourth was competitive and she has 1400m form. Place claims if she rebounds.

Beaten favourite last start, but the prior seven-length win here was dominant. Proven at this track and distance and can bounce back strongly.

Back after six months with some distance credentials, but his last two Ohi runs were plain. A place is the realistic target.

Dominant five-length winner here last start and the winning rider stays on. Progressive, suited at this track and distance, and the one to beat.

Recent Urawa efforts have been well below the mark, including an over-11-length defeat last start. Others look much safer.

Quick back-up suits after a solid Funabashi fifth, and his prior second at this track was sound. Reliable distance profile gives him claims.

Has a track-and-trip win, but recent efforts have lacked strength and Baoxue Tenshi beat her here last time. Improvement required.

Resumes after eight months with Naoki Machida back, a rider who has won three from seven on her. Fitness is the query, but place claims are clear.
