Kanazawa Race 10 - Race 10 - 1500
GRAY IMERU (1) is a risky top pick rather than a commanding one, but his second to Jiji Jet two runs back gives him a platform if he can rebound from a plain fourth behind Kokorozasuno. PHANTOM GRACE (8) has the more recent winning form, having beaten SELANDIA here before a fourth to Win Love Song, and she looks a genuine danger if she holds that level. LA LUZ (4) brings the strongest last-start performance, scoring by six lengths from Win Blizzard, and his on-pace pattern gives him control if he repeats it. EMBRUXAR (6) also maps forward after an eight-length win as favourite, so the tempo should be honest with more than one runner wanting to be handy. SUZUNO GRACE (9) was only beaten half a length last start and can be in the mix, though his maiden record tempers confidence.

Worked home evenly when fourth in a 3yo B6 here last start, but the margin was heavy at over 14 lengths and he had been near the top of betting. His second to Jiji Jet two runs back was better, finishing strongly and beaten four lengths. Still a maiden after eight starts, so he needs the race run to suit from off the pace to turn that form into a winning threat.

Placed again when third in a 3yo B7 here last start, but she was beaten a long way after only battling on despite being near the top of betting. The run prior was more encouraging, beaten a length by Phantom Grace in a 3yo B8. She can race handy and has placed twice from two Kanazawa starts, yet the latest margin makes this a stern test.

Failed to finish it off when fifth in a 3yo B3 here last start, beaten nine and a half lengths as an outside chance in betting. His previous fourth to Dreamers was sound enough at long odds, beaten just over three lengths. A prior Kanazawa win keeps him in the mix for a place, but the distance query stops him being a confident winning play.

Scored decisively here first-up in a 3yo B1, sitting marginally ahead before extending to beat Win Blizzard by six lengths. That was a sharp turnaround from a long-margin last at Hanshin in a 3yo Maiden, where he was at long odds and settled rearward. He should be prominent again and only has to hold that Kanazawa form to go close.

Worked home well enough when fifth in a 3yo B6 here last start, but the reality is he was beaten over 14 lengths and was at long odds. Two back he was fourth to Jiji Jet, beaten over 13 lengths after failing to finish it off. He has placed once at Kanazawa, though the recent margins and distance query leave him needing marked improvement.

Put the race away in style here last start, winning a 3yo B9 by eight lengths as favourite after taking a slim advantage and quickening clear from Shadow Cry. That was a complete contrast to her Kokura run over 1200m, where she finished 16th and was beaten over 13 lengths. If the latest effort is her true Kanazawa level, she is a serious chance again.

Ran on into third in a 3yo B3 here last start after having plenty to do, although she was still beaten seven and a half lengths and unwanted in the market. Two runs back she won a 3yo B5 by two lengths from Rosy Candle at big odds, finishing powerfully. Her recent Kanazawa form reads well enough for minor money without declaring her a standout.

Settled handy when fourth in a 3yo B4 here last start, beaten just over six lengths by Win Love Song after being near the top of an open market. The start prior was stronger, winning a 3yo B8 as favourite by a length from Selandia and finishing with purpose. With one win from two Kanazawa runs, she has enough substance to be a genuine place chance.

Went close in a 3yo B5 here last start, tracking the leader into the straight before fighting on to be beaten half a length by Zele Nodus. His fourth to Win Luna Rossa two back was also respectable, beaten four and a half lengths. The concern is the winless record from eleven starts, so he looks more likely to run well than finally break through.
