Kanazawa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
KAISER LEON (5) sets the standard in a race where the main hopes all come with some query. He was only third behind Leesan Burning last start and was beaten over 11 lengths, but his previous Kanazawa win was decisive, beating Six Letter by six lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite. WIN LUNA ROSSA (7) is the clear danger if he reproduces his 3yo B4 win here two back, when he put two and a half lengths on Meiner Etretat, though his latest sixth in 3yo B2 company was only fair. ZELE NODUS (3) brings the most recent placing, having run third behind Transcenko, and her prior win over Suzuno Grace keeps her firmly in the minor-money discussion. RUBY RING (8) has the light weight and class drop in her favour, but recent margins make her more a place hope than a win threat.

Finished seventh behind Leesan Burning at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 14 lengths after settling handy and finding little in the straight. The previous fourth behind Positive Girl was better, though still beaten just over eight lengths. Her three wins and nine places from 37 starts at this track and distance are respected, but current form says she has plenty to turn around.

Ran second here in 3yo B9 grade last start, but the margin was still a well beaten one behind Survival True and the late finish lacked conviction. Two back he was last behind Jiji Jet in 3yo B3 grade, beaten over 18 lengths at big odds. A track-and-trip win is in the book, but he must produce a sharper closing effort to trouble the better chances.

Held third behind Transcenko in 3yo+ COND company at Kanazawa last start, working home evenly after starting at big odds. That followed a 3yo B5 win over Suzuno Grace, where she picked up sharply and arrived in time. She can use her natural early pace from a low draw, and the Shoma Kato record adds support, but she still profiles as a place hope rather than the one to beat.

Was eighth behind Leesan Burning here last start, beaten over 16 lengths after having the job ahead and making no late ground. The run prior was similar when last behind Meisho Omine, beaten over 13 lengths and unwanted in betting. She has an extensive winning record, but the recent pattern is plain and a major lift is required.

Returns off a four-week let-up after finishing third behind Leesan Burning at Kanazawa, beaten over 11 lengths when he had his chance and battled home. The strength is the win prior, when he beat Six Letter by six lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite. Third-up, proven at this track and distance, and two from two with Akihiro Yoshida, he still looks the most reliable winning option.

Dropped out to finish second last behind H N Harmony at Kanazawa last start, well beaten by 20 lengths after sitting just off the leading division. The previous sixth behind Pretty Deneuve was also costly, beaten over 12 lengths after having his opportunity. One win and four places from 22 at this track and distance is only a mild counterpoint to poor recent form.

Returns off a four-week freshening after finishing sixth behind Onino Utage in 3yo B2 grade, beaten seven and a half lengths when only fair through the line. His previous 3yo B4 win here was much stronger, beating Meiner Etretat by two and a half lengths after powering home as odds-on favourite. With that peak run still fresh enough, he is a genuine winning chance if he rebounds.

Finished ninth behind Leesan Burning here last start, beaten over 16 lengths after never looking likely from well back. She had also been beaten over 11 lengths when fifth behind B B Builder in a small field the start prior. The light weight and class drop give her some place appeal, but being unplaced in 14 runs at this track and distance is a genuine reservation.
