Kanazawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1500
AMETHYST LORD (3) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 4 lengths over 1900m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins from six runs. Top chance again. LILY BRIGHT (1) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to cope. SEVEN MAKE HAPPY (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 6 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Steps up a level but he is good enough to figure in the finish. HAKUSAN SAKUYAHIME (8) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track when beaten 2.5 lengths. Shoma Kato who has scored on her seven times retains the mount. One of the better hopes.

At the latest run scored a big 5 len win at this track on July 28 over 1500m defeating Don Takami carrying 57kg at $1.20. The start before that struggled in the run home; ran last of 9 at Hanshin on June 20 over 1600m, 45 len behind Avion carrying 54.0kg at $116.70. Likely to go well from the rails draw.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 29-day let-up. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 4 len at this track on July 19 over 1900m defeating Star Candy carrying 57kg at $1.70. The run before that favourite; scored a big 6 len win at this track on July 5 over 1500m defeating Suzuran Queen carrying 57kg at $1.30. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 6 len at this track on July 27 over 1500m defeating Alma Inanna with 57kg at $3.10. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on July 5 over 1500m, 7 len behind Morgensonne with 57kg at $8.20. Can get the job done again.
