Kanazawa Race 11 - Race 11 - 1700
GARM CAT (8) brings the most reliable recent form into this A2 over 1700m, having finished second here over 1500m when beaten half a length by Acute Girl after being near the top of betting. His fourth to Syn Schiene two starts back was also sound, so the main issue is simply whether the rise in trip unlocks more or finds him out. PANTELLERIA (1) is the danger on class and local record, with six wins from twelve starts at Kanazawa and proven 1700m form, though he must rebound from a fifth over 1400m when beaten just over nine lengths. HAKUSAN MIRACLE (4) has been close enough at his past two to hold genuine place appeal, especially with a strong jockey-horse record, but the extra distance remains a query. MANI HERO (7) has stronger overall figures than his latest fifth suggests, yet he needs a sharper response after failing to quicken last week.

Had his winning run halted when fifth in a 3yo+ COND over 1400m at Kanazawa last week, beaten just over nine lengths after having plenty to do before catching the eye late. The start prior he beat Mani Hero here by a nose as a short odds-on favourite. His six wins from twelve at the track and proven 1700m record keep him right in calculations if he rebounds.

Improved sharply when fourth over 1500m at Kanazawa last start, beaten just under a length by Acute Girl despite being among the outsiders. That was a far better effort than his second last to Pantelleria here two back, when beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. His broader record is sound, but he still needs the latest run to prove more than a one-off spike.

Finished last over 1500m at Kanazawa three weeks ago, beaten four and a half lengths by Acute Girl after settling rearward. He had also been safely held behind Syn Schiene the start prior, beaten over 11 lengths after never looking likely. Unplaced in four starts at this track and distance, he needs a clear turnaround to trouble the stronger chances.

Held his ground for fifth over 1500m at Kanazawa last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Acute Girl after tracking the speed and being respected in an open market. Two back he lacked a change of gears when sixth to Kazu Laureato. The longer trip is a genuine query, but his record with H Yoshihara gives him a realistic place profile.

Worked home evenly for third in a 3yo+ A1 at Kanazawa last start, beaten just over three lengths by Rouge Mirage at long odds. That followed a narrow win here over Syn Schiene when also big odds, so the recent form has more substance than his profile suggests. The knock is that he has mixed in and out, leaving him an each-way hope rather than a main play.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last in a 3yo+ A1 over 1400m at Kanazawa, beaten over 14 lengths by Tablao and unwanted in the market. He was also seventh here the run prior and made no headway. A past track-and-distance win is noted, but current form leaves him with too much to repair.

Was safely held in a 3yo+ A1 at Kanazawa last week, finishing fifth and beaten seven and a half lengths by Sai And Ko after failing to quicken. His previous fifth behind Rouge Mirage had more merit, as he had plenty to do and closed off late. His career and recent-season records are solid enough, but he must produce a stronger finish to convert that into a placing.

Went within half a length of Acute Girl over 1500m at Kanazawa last start, finishing second after being near the top of betting and only being pipped late. He had also picked up nicely when fourth to Syn Schiene two starts back, beaten just under three lengths. The rise to 1700m is the question, but his recent consistency makes him the runner to beat.
