Kanazawa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1500
HATTO MERRILY (1) stuck on well to finish second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck as favourite. Tatsuya Nakajima is a key engagement. Well placed to take this out. A SHIN HONORS (7) settled well back last start and never threatened when ninth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to make amends. SHUNRETSU (3) resumed from a spell last start and finished fifth over 1400m at this track. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves each-way consideration. TOWER CLIMBER (8) finished adrift in eighth last time over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Has his share of talent and can do a lot better.

Third-up today. First-up got back early 8th of 10 at this track on March 16 over 1400m, 11 len behind Top Tarumae with 57kg at $292.70. Second run from a spell came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 10 at this track on March 28 over 1400m, 9 len behind Mark Of Zorro carrying 57kg at $134. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

At the latest run second last of 10 at this track on March 28 over 1400m, 16 len behind Kafuji Uva with 55kg at $17.80. The race before that won by 1.5 len at this track March 15 over 1500m defeating Javert with 55kg at $6.30. Worth another chance.
