Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
SANONO THUNDER (3) is a cautious top pick in a race where most arrive with obvious convictions. His last two runs were poor, but he does have a Kanazawa 1400m win on the page and reunites with a jockey who has a solid record on him, so the drop into 3yo B9 gives him a chance to revive. LEI MOANA (9) brings the strongest set-up profile, with a track-and-distance win and two wins from seven starts with Masayoshi Aoyagi, though she must improve sharply on two big-margin defeats. JUN ORLEANS (6) gets down to 51kg and can settle closer than many of these, but the rise from 900m to 1400m is a genuine query. SURVIVAL TRUE (10) has at least won at the distance and beat LUCIEL here recently, while MOLTO CARINA (2) is another proven at this track and trip despite being well held of late.

Drops from 3yo B4 grade after finishing last here behind Win Love Song, beaten over 19 lengths after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. The run prior was similar when second last behind Win Luna Rossa, beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. Barrier 1 and the Kazuyoshi Kato stable are positives, but this maiden needs a far sharper finish to convert the easier set-up.

Has a Kanazawa 1400m win to her credit, which matters in this moderate contest, but the latest form has been plain. She was second last in a 3yo B5 behind Zele Nodus, beaten over 13 lengths at long odds, and had earlier finished seventh behind Cassis Peach after conceding a huge start. The track-and-trip record keeps her in the minor-money mix, rather than making her a strong winning play.

Comes back in grade with useful historical positives, including one win from four starts at this track and distance and a good record with Tatsuya Nakajima. Recent form is the major concern: last here in a 3yo B3 behind Jiji Jet, beaten over 18 lengths, after another last in a 3yo B2 behind Dreamers. The set-up is kinder, but he must rediscover earlier Kanazawa form quickly.

Was second last behind Moon Shade in a 3yo B7 here, beaten a long way after settling well back and failing to improve. That followed a last behind Jiji Jet in a 3yo B6, beaten out of sight at big odds. He remains a maiden after 14 starts and is unplaced in six attempts at this track and distance, so the class drop alone is not enough to recommend him.

Has been unable to make an impression in similar lead-ups, finishing eighth behind Zele Nodus and then second last behind Cassis Peach, each time beaten over 12 lengths after settling a long way back. His overall record shows no wins from 19 starts, although he has placed three times. A slightly easier assignment helps, but his Kanazawa 1400m record gives little confidence.

Gets meaningful weight relief to 51kg and drops from a 3yo B1 over 900m, where she was last behind Trusted and beaten over 17 lengths after settling back. Two starts ago she led in a 3yo B7 here and was beaten just under seven lengths, which reads better for this. The 1400m remains a question, but she has placed once from three attempts at the track and trip and has enough upside in this field.

Needs to lift off two disappointing Kanazawa runs, most recently finishing last behind Kokorozasuno in a 3yo B6, beaten over 20 lengths at big odds. Her previous run behind Cassis Peach was also plain, beaten over 14 lengths despite being an outside chance in betting. The class drop gives her some hope, but she remains a maiden and is unplaced in three starts at this track and distance.

Finished ninth behind Win Love Song in a 3yo B4 here, beaten over 16 lengths at long odds after settling well back and failing to make ground. Two back, she was second last behind Clever Cute and again offered little late. She did finish ahead of Luciel a couple of weeks ago, but the broader profile is weak with no win from 25 starts and no placing from eight at this track and distance.

Has stronger credentials than her recent margins suggest, with two career wins, a Kanazawa 1400m win and two wins from seven starts with Masayoshi Aoyagi. She was ninth behind Onino Utage in a 3yo B2 last start, beaten over 11 lengths, after finishing second last in a 3yo COND behind K's Komakusa. The class drop is important, and she can be a genuine threat if she holds a more competitive position.

Was seventh behind Win Love Song in a 3yo B4 here, beaten over 11 lengths after giving away too much start, and that followed an eighth behind Clever Cute when never likely. She did finish ahead of Luciel last start and has one win from five starts at the distance, so there is some foundation for improvement. The track record is still unconvincing, making her a place rather than win-first proposition.

Settled rearward and made no impression when seventh behind Zele Nodus in a 3yo B5, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. The previous run was weaker again, last behind Win Luna Rossa and beaten over 19 lengths. She has placed four times from 24 starts and twice from eleven at this track and distance, but the maiden record and recent margins make this a demanding assignment.
