Comments

Bounced back at Kanazawa last start, coming from an unlikely position to beat Aio Lanakila by just under a length despite being unwanted in the market. The run prior was much plainer, finishing second last behind Miracolo Eclat and beaten just over seven lengths at long odds. He has placed at this track and distance without winning, so another lift is needed to make that win more than an upset spike.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Finished last in a 3yo+ B1 at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Maria Diosa after giving away too much start and never looking a factor. She had also faded into sixth behind Kenroku Charmant two back at long odds. Her three wins from ten at this track and distance read well, but current form is too thin to recommend with confidence.

Comments

Kept finding to win by a nose at Kanazawa last start, justifying a very short odds-on quote after looming into the race. That followed a neck second to Noble Genesis when again heavily fancied, so the form has been narrow but reliable. With two wins and a placing from four starts here and a positive record with Yuma Shibata, she has enough substance to be a serious winning chance.

Comments

Dropped out badly in a 3yo+ B1 at Kanazawa last start, finishing last behind Layover and beaten out of sight after settling handy. The previous run was no better, finishing a distant last behind Kenroku Charmant at very long odds. Past career wins show he has had ability, but being unplaced in 18 starts across the past 12 months leaves him with a major form task.

Closed strongly to win a 3yo+ C1 over 1200m at Funabashi last start, beating Castle Loid by just under a length after firm market respect. She had been beaten only half a length by A Shin Dazzle at the same venue before that, so the recent pattern is dependable. The rise to 1500m and first look at Kanazawa are the queries, but her current form gives her a clear winning platform.

Produced another strong Kanazawa win last start, beating Tantum by three lengths after moving into it and putting the race away as a short-priced favourite. He had already beaten Best Tango by two and a half lengths in a 3yo+ C1, also with authority. Four wins from four at this track and two from two at the distance make him one of the strongest profiles in the race.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing seventh in a 3yo+ B1 at Kanazawa, beaten just over nine lengths by Derma Susobarai after settling well back. Two back he led before dropping out to finish last behind One Card Fellow, beaten a long way. He has placed three times from nine at this track and distance, but his recent finishing efforts leave him needing a clear revival.

Resumed with a sound third at Kanazawa, beaten just under two lengths by Seven Make Happy after working home evenly at generous odds. His previous run was much weaker in a 3yo+ B1, although he did make some late ground from well back when beaten over 13 lengths by Sky List. With a strong overall place strike-rate and Taiga Kurihara back aboard, he profiles as a genuine minor-money chance.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after finishing ninth in a 3yo+ B1 at Kanazawa, beaten over 14 lengths by Pantelleria when the final effort was poor. He had been a respectable third behind Hakusan Hanabi two starts back, and his overall record of 19 wins from 43 starts is excellent. Even so, the latest run is a firm warning and he must return much sharper to threaten.

Made it consecutive Kanazawa wins last start, beating Aio Lanakila by five lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite after putting the race away quickly. She had also beaten Lienjoux by two lengths in a 3yo+ C1 the start before. The winning form is hard to fault, though the wide draw and distance query keep her just below the leading pair as a win proposition.

Went close at Kanazawa last start, finishing second to Seven Make Happy and beaten a neck as favourite after working home evenly. Before that he was third in a 3yo+ B1 behind Amethyst Lord, beaten four lengths when holding on fairly. His two-start distance record is tidy, with a win and a placing, so he remains a sound place chance despite needing a little more to win.

Finished fourth behind Seven Make Happy at Kanazawa last start, beaten just over three lengths as an outside chance in the betting. That came after a dominant nine-length win over Brave Zeus here, so the recent form has enough substance. Three wins and five places from twelve starts at this track and distance make her a credible place hope, though the wide draw makes winning harder.
