Kanazawa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
BRAVE ZEUS (2) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 2.25 lengths into third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race. CRAPE MYRTLE (8) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMILE QUARTZ (9) didn't feature last start when seventh over 1500m at this track. The engagement of Tatsuya Nakajima is a positive move. Expect a big run this time. VEHEMENT BLAST (10) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Worth another chance.

Returns from a 29-day let-up. Last start 4th of 9 at this track on May 10 over 1500m, 6 len behind Alma Inanna with 57kg at $2.50. The race before that failed to make an impression; second last of 7 at this track on May 1 over 1400m, 11 len behind Sakura Rufen carrying 57kg at $6.20. Safely held last start but is capable of better.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 8 at this track on May 26 over 1400m, 5 len behind Long Succession with 55kg at $8.10. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track on April 17 over 1400m, 7 len behind Marumo Lumiere with 55kg at $6. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.
