Verdict

VINA NAM DINH (7) has the most persuasive profile, having resumed at Urawa with a third behind Nikoniko Nicole after being set plenty to do and still closing into the money. She was beaten by Eclair Seira last time, so the margin needs turning, but her overall record of two placings from three starts at this venue gives her the right base. ECLAIR SEIRA (1) is the immediate danger after a sharp second at long odds, and the return of Koshi Yoshidome is another useful pointer, though 7f remains a query. MEINER METEORA (6) brings deeper race experience and has placed twice from four runs at the distance, but his latest Nagoya form needs lifting. YODONO LOVE (2) resumes after starting short odds-on on debut and failing to fire, she is lightly raced enough to improve, yet that first run leaves her more of a measured threat than a firm top pick.
