Urawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1500
KEN SIRIUS (6) maps as the one to beat first-up with a 1st and 2nd from two Urawa runs last prep, including a dominant 2.5L win over 1400m on 23/06 carrying 54kg. COSMO TIAMO (5) is a danger after a strong Urawa 1300m win on 07/08 by 2.5L at 54kg and stays in the same rider-trainer combo. YAMATO RYU TAN (2) brings race-fit Kawasaki form, runner-up over 1500m on 11/09 from barrier 1 beaten 0.5L at 54kg, and draws low again. ENERGY HIDDEN (1) is fourth-up and comes off a Kawasaki 1400m 2nd on 10/09, handles Urawa with two thirds this track earlier in the prep.

Fourth-up and drawn the inside, he arrives off a 2nd at Kawasaki over 1400m on heavy 14 days ago, beaten 3L at $17 by Vuela Grande carrying 54kg. His Urawa record reads (2:0-0-2), including a 3rd over 1400m at $2.6 on firm when 24L off Recolte Man, and he sticks to 54kg with Tsubasa Sasagawa taking over. Honest provincial form and the gate should see him land a forward spot around this trip.

Drawn well in barrier 2 and comes off a career-best 2nd at Kawasaki over 1500m (13 SP) 13 days ago, beaten 0.5L by Black Lizard on heavy at 54kg. The colt’s 1500m record reads (2:0-1-0), and he has twice placed at Kawasaki, suggesting another honest showing at this trip.

Returns to 1500m from barrier 3 after a 44-day break, having finished 5th of 7 at Urawa over this trip on 11 Aug (54kg, 51 SP), 9L behind Flight Doctor. Earlier third over 1300m at Urawa on 16 Jul (54kg, 13 SP) suggests some upside at this track. With consistent exposure at Urawa and a handy draw, he can be competitive if reproducing that 1300m effort.

Third-up and back to Urawa, he scored over 800m here on debut at $8.5 before a 9th of 10 over 1400m 44 days ago, beaten 14.65L by Unoki Bombaye. Draws barrier 4 after jumping from 8 last start and sticks with Keita Nishi; a more economical run could see him improve.

Back to Urawa 48 days between runs, he comes in third-up after a 1300m win here on 7 Aug, scoring by 2.5L at $3 with 54kg. The prior 1400m run was 5th of 6 at $51, and today’s 200m rise in trip and barrier 5 look straightforward for a progressive type with positive current-season and track stats.

Proven at Urawa (2:1-1) and resumes first up after 3 months with an unbeaten partnership of 1 win and 1 second from 2 rides for Genki Fujimoto and trainer Kenichi Shigeta. Last start he dominated a 1400m Urawa race on SOFT, winning by 2.5L at $1.16, having previously run 2nd over the same trip at $5.5. Barrier 6 mirrors his prior gate range and he again carries 54kg, so a solid return looks within reach.

Runner-up on debut at Urawa over 1400m (FIRM) when 1L behind Unoki Bombaye at $2.1, then 4th at Kawasaki over 1400m (HEAVY) two weeks ago at $2.8, beaten 6L by Vuela Grande from barrier 10. Now third-up with the same 54kg and a better draw than last start, which can help him hold a handy spot. Genuine chance to progress if he reproduces his debut effort on a sounder surface.
