Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1500

BLUE MERRY (1) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1500m at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Likely to be in the finish again. MINNADE GAMBARU (6) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 7 lengths as favourite last time out over 1500m at this track. Taiga Kurihara scored on him last time and retains the mount. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LAND SUR (8) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1400m at this track, getting home by 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ELUCIDATOR (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Can play a big role.
