Kanazawa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1500
EIGHT BEAT LETTER (2) raced on the speed and lifted to score by 1.5 lengths at today's track and distance when resuming from a layoff last time out. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. MEISHO KOSHI (4) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by half a length over 900m at this track. Masaya Matsudo who has three wins when partnering stays on. Should be in the finish. RED ROMULUS (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 29 when beaten 6 lengths into sixth at this track over 1400m. Nicely placed to break the run of outs. TENKU FLOWER (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation ninth of 11 at this track December 28 over 1400m, 14 len behind War Hammer with 57kg at $29.30. Previously first up; second last of 9 at Himeji January 29 2025 over 1400m, 9 len behind Einosuke carrying 56kg at $6.60. Doesn't appeal.

Second-up. First-up after three months raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at this track March 16 over 1500m defeating Tosho Cloud with 55kg at $7.10. Previously second-up 10th of 16 at Chukyo Dirt on March 15 2025 over 1200m, 8 len behind Sound Moryana with 55.0kg at $387.60. Looks a big chance to add to the impressive recent run. Improver with winning prospects.
