Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1500
NAGISANO BALCONY (7) was in the firing line on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. KOETSU (4) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, getting there by 1.5 lengths. Winning rider Taiga Kurihara sticks and she cannot be discounted. GOOD LUCK STAR (1) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 900m at this track two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Right in this. LACIENTE (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.

Most recently set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 at this track on August 11 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Prime Line with 55kg at $5.70. The race before that didn't do much in the run home; 7th of 10 at this track on July 26 over 900m, 7 len behind Kamicha with 55kg at $6. Working up to a win. Worth following.
