Urawa

KURA ORYU (12) Finished 6th last run at Monbetsu. Likely to bounce back and stepping up in trip. First start for a new trainer. In the mix. KISARA FLASH (1) Finished 5th last run here but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Looks to be value. COMBAT KICK (3) In the money when 2nd last start at Morioka and honest performer putting a tidy record together. First appearance for a new trainer. Displaying good ability this preparation. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. SHINANO CRYSTAL (2) In the money when 3rd last start around here and having second career run. Going over extra ground. Will try to take advantage of the alley. Right in this.
