Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1500
HAKUSAN SAKUYAHIME (2) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1500m at this track at her latest appearance. Form here at this trip is sound. Shoma Kato who has six wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. BLANK SHEET (1) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. Form this track is hard to knock with three wins from seven starts. Likely to feature. GOOD LUCK STAR (9) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just six wins from 80 starts. Was again denied last start when she found a couple better over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. KICHI KING (8) is closing in on a win after two consecutive placings, the latest a second over 1500m at this track. Goes well at this trip, recording six minor placings and has solid claims.

Recent form sound. Most recently raced on the pace when 2nd of 8 at this track on April 17 over 1500m, 3 len behind Syn Schiene carrying 57kg at $19.40. The run before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 at this track on March 27 over 1500m, 7 len behind Toa Kafu with 57kg at $5.20. This is well within his grasp.
