Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1500

HAJIMETENO CHU (5) placed as favourite last time over 1500m at this track after he had won two races on end. In great form and definitely worth following up. BRAVE ZEUS (4) finished tenth two runs back at Ohi then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths as public elect after being in the firing line on the bend over 1400m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again. RYUNO RED EYE (6) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the corner at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths starting at $4.40. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TOP TARUMAE (2) gave away a considerable start over 1400m at this track last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Solid top-three prospects.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at this track on May 1 over 1500m, 9 len behind Corpus Christi carrying 55kg at $4.40. The start before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 9 at this track on April 21 over 1500m, 2.5 len behind Blank Sheet with 52kg at $3.40. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
