Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1500
HAJIMETENO CHU (4) made it two on end when an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, leading throughout . Yuma Shibata has been the pilot at his last two wins. Can do it again. KORONIS (2) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when third, beaten 4 lengths. Can make an impact aided by a good draw. KAFUJI UVA (6) finished third over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Winning rider Masayoshi Aoyagi stays aboard. One of the main contenders. UBERWINDEN (5) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when sixth. May be worth another chance.
