Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1500
ZEPHYRIA (6) is the clear starting point despite recent figures that read plainly, because the class drop out of 3yo Maiden company gives her a more suitable assignment. Her latest seventh at Niigata Dirt over 1200m was only beaten just over six lengths, and this looks within reach if she handles the rise to 1500m. HARU KAORU (8) has the sharper local reference, having been well fancied at Kanazawa last time before finishing sixth behind Velocista, though the margin leaves a query. MEINER SCHLACHT (2) has been poor most recently but his Tokyo Dirt run two back, beaten just under four lengths over 2100m, is good enough to bring him into the minor money. NAC CANDLE (3) is the progressive alternative, coming off a third at Kanazawa at big odds and with a recent edge over HARU KAORU.

Led and battled on for third behind Dinky in a 3yo B8 at Kanazawa last start, but the beaten margin was still seven and a half lengths and she started only an outside chance in the betting. The run prior was weaker again, finishing sixth behind Phantom Grace and beaten over 12 lengths when unwanted in the market. A place here is possible, but the 1500m remains a genuine test.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing tenth behind Martingale in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten over 16 lengths after never coming into the race. His Tokyo Dirt sixth two back was much sounder, beaten just under four lengths over 2100m at big odds. Dropping in class helps, but he remains winless and the shorter trip makes him more a place proposition.

Improved into third behind Velocista in a 3yo B5 at Kanazawa last start, beaten three and a half lengths despite being unwanted in the market, and she kept working after having a bit to do. She had been fourth behind Embruxar the run prior and is still lightly raced. Already beat Haru Kaoru here a couple of weeks ago, so she has a sound minor-money case if the 1500m suits again.

Finished second last behind Dinky in a 3yo B8 at Kanazawa last start, well held after fading late and starting at long odds. That followed a last placing behind Moon Shade when tailed off and unwanted in the market. She has only one placing from ten starts and the recent margins are too heavy to overlook, even with a class drop in her favour.

Was eighth behind Hakusan Suono in a 3yo B7 at Kanazawa last start, beaten five and a half lengths after racing just off the pace and only battling home at long odds. The start prior was far worse, finishing seventh behind Moon Shade and beaten a long way. With no placing from 23 starts and six unplaced runs at this track and distance, others look far safer.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing seventh behind Miesta in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m at Niigata Dirt, beaten just over six lengths at long odds. The Fukushima Dirt run prior was poor over 1700m, but she now drops in class and rates well against this field on recent form. The rise to 1500m is the obvious question, yet this is the right race for her to show more.

Ran fourth behind Survival True in a 3yo B9 at Kanazawa last start, but the bare placing flatters her as she was never competitive and beaten out of sight after tracking the speed. She was also last behind Trusted over 900m the run prior, beaten over 17 lengths at long odds. A lighter weight helps, but four unplaced attempts at 1500m leave a clear query.

Started near the top of betting but finished sixth behind Velocista in a 3yo B5 at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 10 lengths after being claimed late. Her prior Niigata effort was more encouraging, tenth in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m but beaten just over three lengths in a larger field. Class relief keeps her firmly in the mix, although her local and distance records still leave questions.
