Kanazawa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1500
NAC REGINA (7) looks the most reliable option after consecutive Kanazawa placings, most recently second to Velocista when beaten three lengths after starting at generous odds. She is still a maiden, but her two placings from two runs at the track give her the clearest current profile. DAIHYO KIRK (1) is the class-movement runner: his Niigata Dirt efforts read poorly on margins, particularly the tenth to Adelphi, yet the drop into this C2 contest and a leading jockey booking keep him right in calculations. LADY AGGRESSOR (2) improved sharply when third to Keiai Gillis and her two placings from two attempts at the distance make her a genuine danger if she holds that form. MORONO DIAMANTE (4) has been fifth at his past two, so the winning edge is not obvious, but he has at least been working home and can be competitive if the class drop brings him closer.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a plain tenth in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten over 18 lengths by Adelphi at big odds. His previous fifth behind Bright Run had more merit, as he picked up nicely despite being beaten seven and a half lengths. The class drop is the clear positive, though coming back to 1500m and a modest record so far keep him from being a straightforward proposition.

Lifted last start when third in a 3yo B3 at Kanazawa, beaten three lengths by Keiai Gillis after looming and fighting on without quite threatening the winner. That was a clear rebound from her seventh behind Kokorozasuno, where she was beaten over 15 lengths. With three placings from seven starts and two from two at the distance, she has a sound place profile rather than a dominant winning one.

Has been well beaten at both recent Kanazawa runs, finishing ninth behind Survival True last start when beaten out of sight after giving away too much ground. The prior run was no better, as she was last behind Kokorozasuno and beaten over 20 lengths at big odds. A past placing at this track and distance is only minor support, and she needs a major turnaround to trouble these.

Worked home soundly for fifth in a 3yo B2 at Kanazawa last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Embruxar after starting at big odds. He had also finished fifth behind Kokorozasuno the run prior, though the margin there was over 14 lengths. The class drop and previous placing with this jockey give him some claims, but he must turn honest closing runs into a sharper result.

Recent form leaves her with work to do, having finished seventh behind Dinky at Kanazawa last start when beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. Before that she was second last behind Kokorozasuno, beaten over 19 lengths and unwanted in the market. Her overall maiden record and unplaced seven starts at this track and distance make it hard to build a strong case.

Had been holding some claims before last start, but her seventh behind Embruxar at Kanazawa was plain, beaten over 14 lengths after being unwanted in the market. The previous third behind Moon Shade reads better on position than margin, as she was still beaten out of sight. She can race handy and has placed twice from seven starts, yet she needs to find more strength late to convert that into a meaningful threat.

Progressive maiden who has placed at both Kanazawa runs, most recently second in a 3yo B5 behind Velocista when beaten three lengths at generous odds. Two back she was third behind Embruxar after being near the top of betting, so the pattern is heading the right way. With a placing at the distance and the ability to race handy, she sets a solid standard for this field if she maintains that upward curve.

Has struggled to make an impact of late, with last start behind Survival True recorded as a distant last after only being fair through the line. The run prior was an eighth behind Zele Nodus, beaten over 12 lengths and unwanted in the market. He has placed once from three starts at this track and distance, but the current form says he needs a sizeable lift.

Worked home fairly when seventh behind Meiner Exult at Kanazawa last start, but was beaten over 14 lengths and started at long odds. His previous fifth behind Cafe Rendezvous was similar, beaten over 13 lengths after being unwanted in the market. The old track-and-trip win is respected, yet 19 unplaced runs in the past 12 months make him a difficult runner to recommend strongly.
