Kanazawa Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
KEIAI GILLIS (8) earns top billing after sweeping home to win a 3yo B3 at Kanazawa by two lengths, with the strength through the line making that a meaningful form reference despite being only an outside chance in the betting. DAIYU ADVANCE (2) is the obvious danger if her latest failure is put aside; she was last and well beaten by 26 lengths in a 3yo+ COND, but her previous second to Win Love Song, beaten just under a length after leading, is good enough to make her highly competitive here. MEINER ETRETAT (7) brings the most reliable place profile, having finished second then third at Kanazawa, though the lack of a win from twelve starts keeps the winning case in check. QUEEN KOTCHAN (4) returns from a break with a track-and-distance win on the record, but her last two margins mean she is more a minor-money chance than a runner to take on trust at short odds.

Failed badly as a well-found runner last start, finishing last in a 3yo+ COND at Kanazawa and well beaten by 26 lengths behind Transcenko after coming under pressure late. Her previous run is the key pointer, though, when second in a 3yo B4 after leading and being run down late by Win Love Song. Proven at the distance and with a strong track profile, she can rebound if that latest run is forgiven only as an aberration.

Was fifth in a 3yo B9 at Kanazawa last start but was beaten a long way and unwanted in the market, so the finishing position flatters the run. Before that she was ninth behind Win Love Song, beaten over 16 lengths and unable to make any impression. A 26-start maiden unplaced in nine track-and-distance tries has plenty to turn around.

Back from a two-month break after finishing fourth in a 3yo B3 at Kanazawa, beaten over 12 lengths behind Wide Schaffen when at long odds. Her start prior was a clear failure, leading before dropping out behind King Boulder. The positive is a previous win from four starts at this track and distance, so she has a place case if returning sharper than recent margins suggest.

Made some ground on paper when fifth in a 3yo B7 at Kanazawa last start, beaten four lengths behind Hakusan Suono, but he had settled rearward and did not produce a decisive finish. Two back he was eighth in a 3yo B3 and beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. A track-and-distance win gives him some base, yet the recent form says he must find more.

Conceded a huge start when sixth behind Keiai Gillis in a 3yo B3 at Kanazawa, beaten just over eight lengths, and that left her with too much to do. Her previous third behind Kyoei Art was better, beaten a length and a half after finishing strongly despite being unwanted in betting. She places often here without winning, so minor money looks the realistic target.

Worked home evenly for third behind Win Love Song in a 3yo B4 at Kanazawa last start, beaten just under five lengths after starting at big odds. That followed a sound second to Win Luna Rossa, beaten two and a half lengths when nearer the top of betting. He is honest and has placed three from three with Taiga Kurihara, but remains a 12-start maiden and the distance record is still a query.

Produced the standout recent win in this field, taking a 3yo B3 at Kanazawa by two lengths from Sky Prelude after looking unlikely before finishing right over the top. That was a clear advance on his previous fourth behind Charity Chalice, where he did not quicken. Chihiro Kaneko retains a solid association and the track record reads well, so a repeat of that last-start finish makes him a major player again.
