Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400

KIMIGA ICHIBAN II (8) won his maiden two back at this track then could only manage sixth last start over 1500m at this track. Has ability and is among the winning hopes. WHITE NILE (1) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish eighth over 1500m at this track in a disappointing performance. Worth including on best. FIRE KNIFE (3) tackled an easier race when a 3-length winner over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed again and is a definite winning hope. DINKY (5) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 1500m at this track. Tough to stop again.

Most recently couldn't go on with it; ran last of 8 at this track on April 29 over 1500m, 18 len behind Wellooks carrying 57kg at $5.60. The start before that failed to make an impression; 6th of 9 at this track on April 17 over 1400m, 9 len behind Dancing Away carrying 57kg at $4.80. Can do much better.

At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 3 len at this track April 29 over 1400m defeating Derma Aso with 57kg at $2.80. The race before that ran last of 14 at Hanshin Dirt on April 4 over 1800m, 24 len behind Gonta with 54.0kg at $223.10. Will be hard to hold out.

Most recently rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 8 at this track on April 29 over 1500m, 8 len behind Lord El Dorado carrying 55kg at $8.20. The run before that 6th of 8 at this track on April 3 over 1400m, 16 len behind Lux Ange carrying 55kg at $9. Hard to recommend on recent form.

Last start 5th of 9 at this track on April 17 over 1400m, 9 len behind Dancing Away with 55kg at $16.90. The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 7 at this track on April 3 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Nyankinese carrying 55kg at $2.20. Genuine chance this time around.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at this track on April 29 over 1500m, 10 len behind Wellooks carrying 57kg at $1.40. The race before that favourite; won by 0.8 len at this track April 17 over 1400m defeating Suzuran Queen with 57kg at $2.10. Can do much better.
