Kanazawa Race 11 - Race 11 - 1500
FRANCORCHAMPS (5) fought on for third last start over 1700m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. ILLUMINATOR (11) has been about the money with two minor placings from three starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1500m at this track. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Among the leading chances. UMETARO (9) led throughout last start to score an effortless 5 lengths win over 1500m at this track. Yuma Shibata has scored on him two times and is back in the saddle. Should be involved in the finish. PEACE OCEAN (4) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Won at her only second-up appearance and cannot be ruled out.
