Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1500
SAKURA SALUTE (5) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 0.8 lengths back in second over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. HAKUSAN SAKUYAHIME (8) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1500m at this track when third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Form here at this trip reads three wins from four starts. Suited here and a win will not surprise. QUEEN LOVE (2) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight and fading to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1400m here last time. One of the main contenders. GOOD LUCK STAR (9) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver so plenty to like about her chances.

Third-up today. First-up held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track on March 11 over 1400m, 4 len behind Kenroku Charmant carrying 55kg at $5.10. Second-up did the work up front then tired 5th of 10 at this track on March 27 over 1400m, 3 len behind Fukuno Evry with 55kg at $3.20. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1500m.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 10 at this track on March 16 over 1500m, 19 len behind Hakusan Hanabi carrying 55kg at $32.10. Second run from a spell ran last of 9 at this track on March 28 over 1400m, 13 len behind Kakushin with 55kg at $53.40. Hard to have on recent efforts.

Second run back. First-up after three months sat on the pace when 3rd of 11 at this track on March 16 over 1500m, 3.5 len behind Eight Beat Letter with 55kg at $1.50. Previously second-up 11th of 17 at Kokura on June 29 over 1200m, 11 len behind Rhein Pixie with 53.0kg at $178.20. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
