Kanazawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
RUNE FACTOR (8) scored last time over 1500m at this track, making it three victories from three appearances this campaign. Has a formidable combination with Masaya Matsudo who has been aboard for his last three wins. Among the leading chances. NAGISANO BALCONY (7) recorded a strong maiden win over 1500m here last time, getting there by 1.5 lengths. Winning rider Yuma Shibata sticks and she is a solid top-three hope. KANNAGI (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this venue. Has her share of ability and will prove hard to beat in this suitable race. THREE OGI (1) last raced on August 24 when beaten 7 lengths into fourth at this course over 1400m. Draws the inside marble and is nicely placed to break the run of outs.
