Kanazawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 2000
FIVE LETTER (3) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on April 3 over 1700m when he scored by 2.5 lengths. Winning rider Taiga Kurihara retains the mount. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is good enough to take this out. SUPER CHANDO (7) has really found form lately, easily winning again last start over 1700m at this track. Has strong winning claims again here. SIN LIMITES (2) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest by 5 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is capable of testing his rivals. VERTEX (10) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time but won at this track at the previous outing. Can make amends.
