Ura Kyushu 2019

[Benihana]

He had a strong 6-1 comeback, catapulting him from Sd91 to Sd33. Another 6-1 or 7-0 would mean promotion to makushita.

[Kawabata]

I thought he might only rack up 5 in the last basho, but I was pleased to see he looked pretty good - I think he's definitely got enough in him for another 6 this time round. Fingers crossed anyway! I could see him challenging for the yusho even, well I hope we'll see that at least... :)

[Churaumi]

6-1, but I also think he very well could get all 7 this time. I’m leaning more toward six so I’m not disappointed. Hopefully last basho got the “returning to competition” jitters out and there won’t be any mistakes.

[Yatagarasu]

He looks a bit leaner since last basho, so I think he's on better form this time around, not just in terms of dusting off the cobwebs, but also physically.  Hopefully he'll be buoyed by his last performance.  I'd like to think he's capable of 7-0 but will hedge my bets and say 6-1 because you never know.  

[Shinrei]

Zero votes for 7-0. I feel less bad about my choice.
