Kanazawa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1500
RINASCITA (6) brings the most intriguing profile. Her latest 14th at Niigata reads poorly, but she was contesting a 3yo Maiden over 1000m and her prior Fukushima seventh, beaten two and a half lengths, gives her a better platform than most of these. The new stable and rise to 1500m are the key questions, yet this C2 looks within reach. PHANTOM GRACE (1) is the reliable local form runner, with two recent Kanazawa fourths and a prior win at the track to support her case. SHINE VIRA (3) has been well beaten, but the late work last start keeps him in the minor-money mix if he can use it earlier. FINE BLUE (4) is still a 22-start maiden, though her latest fourth, beaten just under four lengths, makes her a genuine place danger rather than a throw-in.

Finished fourth in a 3yo B2 at Kanazawa last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Embruxar after settling handy at generous odds. She had also run fourth here in a 3yo B4, beaten just over six lengths when near the top of an open market. A track winner from limited tries and now in a C2, she has the right profile to be a major player if the 1500m does not find her out.

Beaten over 15 lengths at Kanazawa last start in a 3yo B8 when unwanted in the market and unable to make any impression from a long way back. The start prior was no better, finishing second last and beaten over 18 lengths behind Win Love Song. He has won at this track and distance, but recent form leaves him with a substantial task.

Produced a better closing piece than the raw margin suggests when fourth at Kanazawa last start, although he was still beaten over 13 lengths by Luna Cacao and was unwanted in the market. Two back he was sixth behind Win Love Song, beaten seven and a half lengths at big odds. Still a maiden after 15 starts, but if ridden for one late run he can press for a place.

Improved to finish fourth in a 3yo B7 at Kanazawa last start, beaten just under four lengths by Hakusan Suono despite starting at big odds. Her prior fifth behind Zele Nodus came after conceding a huge start and left her with too much to do. The 22-start maiden record is the obvious brake, but that latest effort puts her in the minor-money conversation.

Failed badly at Kanazawa last start, finishing last and beaten a long way behind Leesan Burning after giving away a big start when unwanted in the market. Her previous fourth behind Cafe Rendezvous was also a sizeable defeat, though she did loom before fading. The older mare has three wins and eight places overall, so a rebound is possible, but trust is the sticking point.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing 14th in a 3yo Maiden over 1000m at Niigata, beaten ten lengths by Daiyu Venti after settling well back and never threatening. Her previous Fukushima seventh over 1200m was more encouraging, beaten two and a half lengths by Shine For Me. Third-up, into C2 and with a new stable, she appeals strongly, though 1500m remains the test.

Made some late ground when seventh at Kanazawa last start, beaten five lengths by Hakusan Suono, but he still started at long odds and did not threaten. The run prior was weaker, finishing eighth behind Win Love Song and beaten over 13 lengths after settling a long way back. Still winless from 20 starts, he needs a sharper overall performance.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing fifth at Kanazawa, beaten just over eight lengths by Noel when unwanted in the market despite closing from an impossible spot. He was second last and well beaten behind Dream Spurt the start before. Ten career wins and a sound 1500m record give him some grounding, but his local form makes him hard to endorse strongly.

Has been safely held in two recent Kanazawa runs, finishing sixth and beaten over 13 lengths behind Meiner Exult last start at long odds. The start prior was another sixth, last of six, beaten over 14 lengths by B B Builder. She has placed three times from twelve starts at this track and distance, but the 30-start maiden record demands a clear lift.
