Kanazawa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1500
HATTO MERRILY (4) scored two back at this track but was below her best last time when fifth over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. NOEL (2) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can return to the winner's circle. BEYOND THE SCENE (1) fought on well for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Has a solid record here at the distance with four wins and three placings from nine tries. One to consider. FIERE GIRL (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.

Racing well recently. Last start made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on May 17 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Delta Neutral carrying 55kg at $11.40. The race before that 4th of 8 at this track on May 3 over 1500m, 10 len behind Koronis with 55kg at $24.50. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.
