Kanazawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
KING BOULDER (6) was quickly into stride over 1400m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by half a length. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race. SAKURA D'OR (1) was prominent on straightening then faded to finish seventh last time out over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Should be in the finish in this weaker race. ORANGE CAKE (3) has three wins and three minor placings from eight outings this preparation. Found a couple better last start at this track over 1400m after being up on the pace all the way. Genuine type with bright prospects. BUENOS OPTIMA (5) turned in a decent performance when second last time out over 1500m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth another chance.

Recent form sound. Last start led but faded 3rd of 12 at this track on August 18 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind K's Komakusa with 55kg at $3.70. The race before that won by 2.5 len at this track on July 19 over 1400m defeating Mumtaz Chocolat with 55kg at $2.60. Plenty to like about her prospects.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track on August 17 over 1500m, 7 len behind Nyan Taro with 55kg at $3.90. Before that won by 1.5 len at this track on August 3 over 900m defeating Gustav carrying 55kg at $1.30. Genuine hope.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run raced on the speed throughout before fading ran second last of 8 at this track on August 3 over 1500m, 11 len behind Nyan Taro carrying 57kg at $9.50. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at this track on July 19 over 1400m, 3 len behind Orange Cake with 57kg at $8. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.
