Kanazawa Race 3 - Race 3 - 1500
MEISHO BARISTA (3) heads the selections, chiefly because his Kanazawa placing gives him the clearest current platform in a race where most have significant convictions. The margin behind Coeur Et Sakurako was severe and he was beaten as favourite, so he is no certainty, but the class drop and fourth-up profile keep him on top. LUSTRARE (6) has the stronger closing piece of recent form, running third to Hakusan Suono after being unwanted in betting, and he looks the main danger if he backs that up. MARY IMERU (4) was held by LUSTRARE in that same Kanazawa race but was beaten just under five lengths and has a realistic minor-money case. JASMINE GIRL (7) has a poor career record and was well beaten last time, yet the class relief gives her some place appeal in a thin race.

Had market respect when near the top of betting last start in a 3yo B8 at Kanazawa, but finished last behind Dinky and was well beaten after settling rearward and weakening late. The previous run was no better, second last to Charity Chalice and beaten over 20 lengths at long odds. The class drop is some help, yet the recent finishing effort leaves him with plenty to repair.

Finished eighth in a 3yo B5 at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Velocista after settling rearward and making no late impression at big odds. His sixth to Charity Chalice in a 3yo B8 two back was better but still only moderate, beaten seven lengths. The class drop gives him a small opening, though the winless record demands a sharper finish.

Placed third at Kanazawa last start in a 3yo B6, but was beaten out of sight by Coeur Et Sakurako after being sent out favourite and failing to quicken when right there. That followed a 12th at Niigata Dirt over 1800m, beaten over 14 lengths. The positives are the class drop, race fitness and a prior placing here and at the distance, so he still looks one of the main chances if that latest margin is treated with caution.

Worked home fairly when sixth to Hakusan Suono in a 3yo B7 at Kanazawa last start, beaten just under five lengths after starting near the top of an open market. Two back she made solid inroads from well back over 900m, albeit beaten over 12 lengths by Trusted. She has been held by Lustrare recently, but this looks a suitable race for a placing rather than a strong win call.

Made some late ground behind Coeur Et Sakurako last start, but the record still shows fourth in a 3yo B6 and the margin as a distant last. Her previous fourth to La Luz was also safely held, beaten over 14 lengths after working home evenly. Third-up fitness and the class drop are positives, yet she remains winless from three starts and needs a more competitive finishing figure.

Produced his best run this preparation when third to Hakusan Suono in a 3yo B7 at Kanazawa, beaten just over two lengths after looking beaten and charging into the frame at long odds. Two back he was always too far from the contest when fifth to La Luz, beaten over 18 lengths, so the latest effort was a genuine step forward. The class drop helps, though the distance remains a query he still has to answer.

Finished last to Meiner Exult at Kanazawa two weeks ago, well beaten after settling a long way back and failing to improve. The run prior was seventh to Moonlight Aria, beaten just over eight lengths and unwanted in the market, so recent form is hardly compelling. Class relief gives her some hope of lifting, but a 23-start maiden record and no placing in twelve track-distance runs make her a cautious place case only.
