Kanazawa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1500
HAKUSAN SAKUYAHIME (7) produced a good effort last start over this distance at this track, scoring by 4 lengths. Has never missed the frame at this course, including seven wins and three placings. Major player. SUN ESPERANCE (4) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over 1500m. Likely improver with strong prospects. DAWN COSMO (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when tenth over 1500m at this track. Can bounce back. THALJ (10) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fifth over 1500m at this track. Record at this track is strong. Worth considering.

Last start did the work up front then tired 6th of 10 at this track on May 5 over 1500m, 5.5 len behind Daydream Beach with 57kg at $10.30. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at this track on April 24 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Let's Live On with 57kg at $14.60. Faces a tough assignment.

Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at this track on May 5 over 1500m, 5.5 len behind Daydream Beach carrying 57kg at $4.30. Before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on April 12 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Kenroku Charmant carrying 57kg at $8.40. Nicely drawn and should prove hard to beat.
