Verdict

NARISUNA (8) resumes after a break of five months. Hoping for a repeat of her debut win over 7 ½f at this track to kick off last prep. Best fresh figures put her right in this. LES FRERES (6) showed good early speed when resuming last start over today's journey at Urawa before finishing third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects. KENSHI YUKI (7) showed early speed from an outside draw last time out and led for much of the way before finding a couple better at the end of 7f at Urawa. Bold showing expected. GRINNELL (3) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.5 lengths of the winner in second last start over 7 ½f at Urawa. Should be winding up late again.
