Urawa Race 2 - Urawa
YODONO LOVE (4) Maki Hirayama trained 3yo by Oval Ace having first race start. Follow the money. SPLENDIDUS (6) Finished 5th last start around here. Expecting improvement here. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Winning prospect. FOREVER AIYA (2) Lacklustre showing when 9th last time at this track but gets a favourable draw. Does take a while to get into stride. Rising in trip. Looks a value runner. ECLAIR SEIRA (7) Racing fresh after a break of 26 weeks. Not competitive when 5th last time at this venue but having second race start. Market may be ultimate guide.

Odds of $67.00 and came in 7th last start at this track but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Likely to settle back in the field. Cannot be tipped.

Below par when 9th last time at this venue but racing over a longer distance. Likely to get back. Drawn nicely. Watching with interest.

Odds of $51.00 and mediocre performance when 9th last time at the track. Has early speed and positions nicely. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

First up from a spell of 26 weeks. Tailed off when 5th last time at this venue but having second career run. Betting is the best guide.
