Kanazawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
BALMY WEATHER (10) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by a nose over 1500m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three runs. Top chance again. FRANCORCHAMPS (4) fought on for third last start over 1700m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Nicely placed to find winning ways. IMPERIAL MOAT (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. RYUNO ASRAAM (9) produced another moderate effort last start when 14th over 1000m at Funabashi. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
