Verdict

MIRACOLO PILINA (6) was far from disgraced when fifth last start at Urawa, beaten 2.5 lengths. Had won two of her other three starts at Urawa since a spell. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. MARON DE PETIT (9) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish third over 7f at this track after showing good early speed. Lightly raced with upside and could progress enough to win. SPRINGA FORT (8) tackled richer races in the last two outings but recorded a win and two placings in the previous three starts so will enjoy the class drop. G CAMPIONE (5) broke through last time and is lightly raced with some upside.
