Kanazawa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
SAFFRON BRIGHT (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 7 lengths over 1500m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins and a second from three runs. Big chance once again. SNOW PRINCESS (8) started at $9.10 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below her best, finishing fifth. Well placed and could return to her winning ways. VIERGE (7) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth. Best figures measure up nicely so is worth another chance. A SHIN LUGE (4) improved last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. In the mix.

Recent form sound. Most recently favourite; scored a big 7 len win at this track April 8 over 1500m defeating Return Of Queen carrying 57kg at $1.50. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track on March 24 over 1500m, 1.5 len behind Love And Lucky carrying 56kg at $2.70. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Useful type. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on April 13 over 1500m, 7 len behind Bisc Wizard carrying 55kg at $20.80. Before that sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 10 at this track on March 30 over 1400m, 6 len behind Meiner Heritage carrying 54kg at $8.60. Capable of a strong showing.
