Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
SALTA LA LINDA (5) heads the shortlist despite resuming from an eight-month break, with her Hanshin and Kyoto 1200m efforts in 3yo F Maiden company reading well enough for this C2. She was favourite when fifth to Gold Venus last start and the move to 1400m is the main question, but the class profile gives her a strong case. NAMURA STELLA (3) is the proven recent winner, having scored at Kanazawa by two lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite, and she is the most reliable local form reference if she holds that level fresh. L'ARC EN REVE (2) must rebound from a fading fifth in 3yo+ Cond grade, yet his narrow third two runs back keeps him right in the place-and-winning mix. KURINO HIBIKI (4) has not been sharp lately, but his better effort two back and deep career record make him the value danger for exotics.

Finished last at Kanazawa three weeks ago, beaten a long way by H N Harmony after giving away a huge start and never becoming a factor. The start prior was no better, with a seventh at this track behind Festive Iris when unwanted in the market and beaten over 14 lengths. No wins from 107 starts tells the wider story, and even with a class drop he needs a major form reversal.

Ran below his better form when fifth in a 3yo+ Cond at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 10 lengths after settling prominently and fading late. The previous third behind Clever Cute was far stronger, beaten just under a length in a 3yo B3 when near the top of an open market. Proven at the distance and with winning local form, he is a realistic place hope if he repeats the run two back.

Returns from a two-month let-up after breaking through at Kanazawa in a 3yo B6, beating Meiner Etretat by two lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite. That was a sharp turnaround from her second-last at Kokura Dirt over 1000m, where she was unwanted and made no impression. Now one from one at this track, she has the right local platform to make another strong winning bid.

Was eighth at Kanazawa a week ago in 3yo+ Cond grade, beaten over 10 lengths at big odds after conceding a big start, though he was at least fair through the line. His prior fifth behind Moonlight Aria was more competitive, beaten just under four lengths. An 18-time winner overall, he has enough old form and class relief to be considered for the minor money rather than a clear win play.

Resumes from an eight-month break after finishing fifth as favourite in a 3yo F Maiden at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just over eight lengths by Gold Venus but still making ground from well back. She had also picked up nicely when fifth at Kyoto Dirt the run prior. The rise from 1200m to 1400m is the genuine query, yet this class drop gives her a strong chance to return competitive.

Has finished fifth at his past two Kanazawa runs in 3yo B4 company, most recently beaten over 14 lengths by Luna Cacao at big odds after failing to finish the race off. The previous effort was only marginally better, beaten just over seven lengths behind Win Love Song. A class drop offers some help, but he is unplaced in seven starts at the distance and needs the race to fall his way.

Finished last at Mombetsu in a 3yo+ C4 over 1200m last start, beaten over 18 lengths by Full Vogue after settling well back and failing to improve. The run prior was also well held at big odds behind Eudaemonia. He has placed twice from two starts at this distance, but with no wins from 29 overall, others present far stronger claims.
