Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1500
GORTYS (7) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.5 lengths over today's trip at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins and five placings. Rates highly and should go well. MIRACOLO CANALE (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when second over 1500m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. MJUK REGULUS (5) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Among the main hopes. SHELTERBELT (4) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at this track over 1400m. Nicely placed to make amends.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 11 at this track on April 10 over 1500m, 2.75 len behind Toa Kafu carrying 55kg at $4.30. The race before that 3rd of 9 at this track on March 28 over 1500m, 5 len behind Ora Veritas carrying 55kg at $14.90. Likely to play a big role.
