Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
MARVELOUS BAMBOO (6) 2yo debutant by Copano Rickey for Masayuki Nakagawa. Market as guide. M T MORTON (2) Finished 4th last run at this venue. Should improve here and will try to take advantage of the alley. Displays good tactical speed. Each way all day. DAN STONE ROOK (8) Came in 7th last time at Monbetsu. Giving another go here. First start for a new trainer. Looks to be value. AENOKOTO (4) Below par when 8th last time at this venue. Can finish in the money.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing second last at Mombetsu over 1000m, beaten over 17 lengths at long odds. She had been tenth there the run prior, beaten over 18 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. The class drop and added fitness help, but 1400m is new and she must find a sharper finish to hold a genuine place chance.

Comes off his best run to date, finishing fourth behind Rainbow Tree at this track after making up good late ground and being beaten five and a half lengths. His previous seventh was plain, but he is now fourth-up, gets the class-drop setup and has the top recent profile in this line-up. The unplaced 1400m record is the one reservation, though his latest closing effort makes him the one to beat.

Worked home into fifth at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths behind Rainbow Tree, and that was a step in the right direction from her debut when well beaten by 23 lengths behind Be The First. She still finished behind M T Morton in the recent clash, so the winning case is limited, but third-up fitness gives her a realistic minor-money profile.

Finished a distant last at this track behind Rainbow Tree last start after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. Her debut sixth was also well beaten by 23 lengths behind Be The First, so there is little recent substance to lean on. The class-drop tag is some help, but she has to find a sizeable turnaround to be competitive.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing second last at Mombetsu over 1100m, beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. Her debut sixth over 1000m was also well held after settling rearward and failing to make ground. Taiga Kurihara taking over is a positive note, but 1400m is untried and her race form must improve sharply.

Has been safely held in all three runs this campaign, most recently sixth at this track behind Rainbow Tree and beaten over 14 lengths at long odds. She was second last here the start prior, beaten over 13 lengths after giving away a big start. With no placing from three attempts at this track and distance, she has plenty to turn around.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing seventh at Mombetsu over 1200m, beaten eight lengths after settling rearward at long odds. The start prior she was second last over 1100m and unwanted in the market, so her recent form has gaps. Even so, she rates well against this field, drops in class and profiles as the main danger if the new 1400m suits.
