JP - Urawa - Race 7

EGAL (3) is the horse with the clearest winning profile after putting two Urawa wins together, first scoring by five lengths then backing it up with a two-length success over Terrentius. That gives her the strongest recent form, although the distance query in the profile keeps the race from being completely closed. UKIYONO MESSIAH (8) comes next after finding plenty to win by a nose here at generous odds, and her broader place record gives her substance if she repeats that level. TAKAICHI SHOHEI (2) has yet to miss a place in four starts and was beaten just under a length by Golden Comanche after starting short odds-on favourite, so he remains a serious danger despite that defeat. BEAR TOOTH (10) resumes with a reliable place pattern rather than a winning one, having placed five times from eleven starts without winning, and must stretch from recent 6f form to be the upset hope.
