Kanazawa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
AVANT FLIGHT (2) heads the selections in a thin 3yo B8 over 1400m at Kanazawa, but she has to turn around a sixth here when beaten over 12 lengths after offering little late. The class drop is her opening, and the draw gives her a chance to be more effective if she can settle close enough. DINKY (1) has the most persuasive recent run, improving to fourth in 3yo B2 company here and now coming back in grade, though his long maiden record keeps the price discussion honest. SUSAN BAROWS (4) at least made some late ground from well back last start and profiles as one who can fill a role if the race is run to suit. BE SPECIFIC (3) is harder to trust after two last placings, but fourth-up and back in grade he is a rough inclusion. KIYOSUMI (8) brings a better two-back effort than many, yet her latest run was plain.

Produced a clear improvement when fourth in a 3yo B2 at Kanazawa last start, beaten just over four lengths by Onino Utage after being unwanted in the market. That was a sharp lift on his tenth here behind K's Komakusa, when he was beaten over 14 lengths from well back. The drop into 3yo B8 company is significant, though he remains winless from 21 starts. Still, his place record at this track and trip gives him a strong platform.

Was safely held when sixth at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Phantom Grace after being claimed soon after and weakening out. The run prior was no better, finishing second last behind Moulin Radet after settling too far back to make an impact. She is race fit and comes back in class, but she must show more late strength to convert this into more than a minor-money chance.

Has been beaten a long way at both runs this preparation, finishing last in a 3yo B9 at Kanazawa most recently after settling miles back and failing to improve. He had also finished last behind Phantom Grace the start prior, again with little market confidence. Fourth-up fitness and a class drop offer some hope, but he needs a substantial form reversal to become a winning factor.

Made some late ground when fifth in a 3yo B9 at Kanazawa last start, but she was still beaten over 12 lengths by Embruxar and started at big odds. Two back she was seventh behind Phantom Grace, beaten over 13 lengths after settling well back. The drop in class helps and she maps closer to midfield than some, but her unplaced career record keeps her in place territory rather than a firm win call.

Was never in the race when second last in a 3yo B9 at Kanazawa last start, conceding a huge start and finishing well beaten behind Embruxar. Her previous Morioka Dirt run over 1200m was also well held at long odds behind Gold Freedom. Race fitness and a class drop are noted, but she is unplaced from nine starts and needs a far sharper performance.

Comes back in grade after finishing last in a 3yo B7 at Kanazawa, where she was tailed off behind Moon Shade after settling rearward and starting at big odds. The previous run was also plain, beaten a long way by Jiji Jet in a 3yo B6. Her one placing from four attempts at this track and distance is a small anchor, and this is easier, but she must leave those recent margins well behind.

Has not offered enough in two recent Kanazawa runs, finishing second last in a 3yo B4 last start when beaten over 18 lengths behind Win Love Song. He was also seventh behind Dreamers in 3yo B2 company two back, beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. The class drop is some help, but his current racing pattern is too dour to recommend with confidence.

Was disappointing when second last in a 3yo B6 at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 19 lengths by Kokorozasuno after settling too far back and never threatening. Her previous fifth behind Cassis Peach was more competitive, beaten five lengths at long odds in 3yo B5 company. The class drop and that two-back run give her a case, but 22 starts without a win remains the major reservation.

Conceded a big start and was never in the race when second last at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 20 lengths by Charity Chalice. His Nagoya run before that was also weak, finishing last in a 3yo+ COND and losing further ground late. The lighter weight is a positive, but his race record is still bare and he needs a clear turnaround.

Had a handy enough position at Kanazawa last start but could not launch a serious challenge, finishing sixth in a 3yo B1 and beaten over 20 lengths by La Luz. She had also been second last behind Marumo Silber in 3yo B9 company, beaten over 19 lengths after failing to make up ground. A class drop alone is not enough unless she finds a much stronger closing effort.

Again gave himself too much to do when seventh at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Charity Chalice after conceding a huge start. The same pattern appeared two back behind Win Love Song, when he was unwanted in the market and beaten over 17 lengths in 3yo B7 company. The class drop is useful, but an unplaced record from 21 starts makes him a cautious place prospect only.
