Kanazawa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1500
PRESTO BAROWS (10) sets the standard after a decisive 3yo+ C1 win here, scoring by a long way from Mitekure Kono Ashi after being strongly placed in the market. The previous run behind Divertision was plain, so the task is to repeat that latest authority rather than rely on one spike. NOBUTOMO (7) has the more consistent current profile, having won a 3yo+ C2 from Chono Yoni Mau before missing by half a length to Best Tango, and his Kanazawa 1500m record gives him a proper winning case. CRINIERE GRACE (1) is the fresh runner with class-drop appeal from Sonoda A2B1 form, though recent margins mean she must rebound sharply. HAKUSAN ANTARES (4) is the reliable place anchor, with a strong overall record and proven Kanazawa 1500m form, but needs to find more than he showed when third to Style Yourself.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing fifth in a 3yo+ A2B1 at Sonoda over 1230m, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market. Her previous Sonoda run was sounder, seventh and beaten four and a half lengths after conceding a huge start. The class drop and rise to 1500m suit a mare with six wins and ten places from 33 starts, but she needs a much sharper finish to justify her standing.

Improved slightly when fourth here last start, beaten just under five lengths by Divertision after settling rearward at generous odds. That was better than his prior fifth behind Style Yourself, where he was beaten ten lengths and failed to finish it off. He has a Kanazawa 1500m win on the board, but the distance query and plain recent finishing effort leave him needing a clear lift.

Was safely held when fifth here last start, beaten ten lengths by First Flower after travelling handy enough but failing to finish the race off. The run prior was another distant effort, fourth and beaten over 10 lengths by Gortys at big odds. He reunites with a rider who has won three times on him, yet recent margins make this a difficult assignment unless he finds a stronger closing effort.

Ran third here last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Style Yourself after being in the right spot but never threatening the winner. He was more competitive two back when fourth to Ryuno Red Eye, beaten four lengths and respected near the top of betting. With one win and two places from four at this track and distance, he profiles as a sound place chance rather than a dominant winning threat.

Gets to the third run of the campaign after finishing sixth here, beaten six lengths by Divertision as an outside chance in betting. That was an improvement on her previous seventh behind First Flower, where she was beaten over 13 lengths and could not launch a serious challenge. The class drop helps, but an unplaced season record keeps the winning case guarded, so minor money looks the more realistic aim.

Had too much to do from back in the field when seventh here last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Divertision at generous odds. Her prior sixth behind First Flower was also safely held, beaten over 10 lengths after settling rearward. The 52kg impost and a Kanazawa 1500m win keep her in the minor-money mix, but she will need to settle close enough to use those advantages.

Comes off a narrow second here, beaten half a length by Best Tango after being nailed late in an open market. That followed a 3yo+ C2 win at Kanazawa, where he beat Chono Yoni Mau by half a length as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. He races handy, has two wins and three places from seven at this track and distance, and the recent consistency makes him a major player despite the distance query.

Finished last here at big odds last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Rune Factor after having the job ahead and making no headway. The previous run was similar, seventh behind Ifritia and beaten nine and a half lengths when unwanted in the market. She has placed twice from seven at this track and distance, but recent form says she must improve sharply to trouble these.

Was second last here latest, beaten over 11 lengths by Divertision after settling prominently and offering little in the run home. She had also been well beaten two back, fifth behind Gortys by over 11 lengths when unwanted in the market. Two wins at this track and distance are worth noting, but the current form line leaves her with a sizeable improvement task.

Put the race away decisively here last start, winning a 3yo+ C1 by a long way from Mitekure Kono Ashi after kicking clear as one of the better-backed runners. The start prior was less convincing when sixth to Divertision, beaten eight and a half lengths after conceding a big start. A repeat of the latest run makes him very hard to beat, particularly with a strong jockey-horse record in support.
