Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1500
CHARITY CHALICE (9) holds the most reliable winning profile after a second in 3yo+ COND company here and a prior 3yo B8 win at Kanazawa, where he beat Purple Wind after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. His two starts at both the track and the distance have produced a win and a placing, which gives him the clearest base. GOLD AVANTI (5) is the main danger off a better fourth here, making good late ground after a plain run the start before, though the long maiden record remains the obvious reservation. SUZUNO GRACE (7) brings consistency, with consecutive seconds including a narrow defeat two back, and his track-and-distance place record keeps him in the argument. ONIGIRI (2) resumes from a break after two below-par Sonoda runs, but the return to a more suitable distance and this class setting make him the one capable of sharp improvement.

Finished sixth in a 3yo B2 at Kanazawa last start, beaten just over nine lengths after being big odds and only fair through the line. The run prior had more merit, closing from well back to run third in a 3yo B3, albeit beaten seven and a half lengths. She has won at this track and trip and gets the winning rider back, so minor money is within reach if she lifts on the latest effort.

Resumes after a two-month break following a below-par seventh at Sonoda over 1230m, where he was near the top of betting but found little and was beaten just over six lengths. He had also been sent out favourite two back when fifth to Archaic, beaten just over nine lengths after being swamped late. The longer trip suits and he can lead, but he must repay that market confidence.

Was never a winning hope when fifth at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 13 lengths by H N Harmony after going around at long odds. His previous seventh here was another heavy defeat, and he was beaten by Gold Avanti in that recent local form line. The older horse has a solid overall record, but being unplaced in all eleven starts over the past 12 months leaves him with plenty to prove.

Was unwanted in the market and beaten over 15 lengths when sixth in a 3yo B4 at Kanazawa last start, with no obvious excuse. Two back she was fourth in a 3yo B3, beaten just over eight lengths after tracking the speed and battling on fairly. The class drop and rider angle help only slightly, as her 18-start maiden record and poor track-and-distance profile remain major hurdles.

Placed first-up at Kanazawa when second to Meiner Exult, beaten six lengths at long odds after travelling close enough and working home fairly. That was a sizeable improvement on her previous run, when last behind Crystal Way and beaten a long way. She has placed at this track and distance without winning, so she profiles as a rough place hope rather than a strong winning case.

Comes in with consecutive seconds, the latest in a 3yo B2 at Kanazawa when beaten seven lengths by Embruxar after sitting close enough but never troubling the winner. His prior effort was stronger, beaten only half a length in a 3yo B5 after fighting on well. He remains a maiden, but three placings from five at this track and distance make him a genuine minor-money player.

Was again safely held when sixth at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 14 lengths by H N Harmony after settling a long way back and finishing off without threatening. The start prior was even plainer, finishing well held behind Leesan Burning at long odds. There is a class-drop angle and some past placing consistency, but a win looks unlikely unless he finds several lengths.
