Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
ROCK FLOUR (2) gets the nod in a race where the selected chances all come with some recent-form reservation. Her 14th at Sapporo reads plain, but she was only beaten five and a half lengths over 2000m in a 3yo Maiden and now drops into C2 grade third-up, which gives her the clearest platform to improve. MINUIT (5) is next: the margins have been heavy at Chukyo Dirt and Kokura Dirt, yet the class drop and third-up placement make him a genuine danger if he can produce a sharper finish. RULE OVER (1) has been beaten over 13 lengths and over 12 lengths at his last two, but barrier one and a return to a weaker race keep him in the place mix. PARA FLORA (4) has been well held at Chukyo and Kokura, so the rise to 1400m is a query, but she is race fit and capable of better at this level.

Third-up now after finishing 11th in a 3yo COND over 1800m at Ohi, where he was beaten over 13 lengths by Success Gold and failed to come into the race. The start prior at Fukushima Dirt was similar, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds after settling rearward. The class drop and barrier one help, but his maiden record keeps the winning case limited to a place-style profile.

Improved on debut when 14th in a 3yo Maiden over 2000m at Sapporo, beaten five and a half lengths by Derma Fuji after settling rearward. She had been ninth there on debut, beaten just over seven lengths when unwanted in the market and never in the picture. Third-up in a C2, the class drop is meaningful, and this looks her best opening despite the back-in-trip query.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a plain ninth in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten over 16 lengths by Gold Believe after settling back and weakening. She had also finished ninth at Hakodate Dirt, beaten just under ten lengths after giving away too much start. The class drop is the positive, but she has yet to place in four starts and must lift sharply.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m at Chukyo, beaten over 16 lengths by Chuwa Melody after getting well back. The run prior was another heavy defeat at Kokura, where she was second last and beaten over 15 lengths by Thunder Bird. The grade suits better, but the rise to 1400m means she needs marked improvement to earn a place.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing tenth in a 3yo Maiden over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten over 10 lengths by Kitano Hightail when never in the picture from a rearward position. He was ninth at Kokura Dirt two back, beaten over 16 lengths and unwanted in the market. Third-up and back in class, he has a better chance than the form reads if he can travel closer.

Tailed off when sixth in a 3yo B6 at Kanazawa last start, fading late behind Coeur Et Sakurako after being unwanted in the market. The start prior at Niigata Dirt was no better, finishing 12th and beaten over 14 lengths by Trustia after settling a long way back. The light weight and class drop are useful, but recent evidence says she has plenty to find.

Returns from a five-week freshening after resuming with a distant seventh in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten over 18 lengths by Crimson Leaf after conceding a huge start. His previous run at Tokyo was also last, again beaten over 18 lengths by Bonnie Prince. Second-up and down in grade helps, but he needs a far stronger closing effort.

Beaten out of sight when seventh in a 3yo B6 at Kanazawa last start, never improving after settling well back behind Coeur Et Sakurako. He had also finished last in a 3yo B1 here, beaten a long way by La Luz at long odds. With no placing from eleven starts and a distance query still attached, he needs the race to fall apart to make an impact.
