Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1500
HAJIMARINO AIZU (2) Finished 2nd last start here and putting a tidy record together so far. Should be going forward early. Amongst the placegetters on multiple occasions this preparation. Serious player. MOON OF GRIT (8) Tidy run when 2nd last start around here and promising career start. Expecting to settle positively. Appears well in this. STARS OF SAWA (3) Came in 4th last start here. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Could give some each way value. BE THE FIRST (4) Finished 5th last run here. Likely to bounce back. Shows good early pace. Each way hopes.

Turned a solid third into a win at this track last start, scoring by a length from Wes Win after starting at long odds. The start prior he kept finding into third, beaten four lengths by Love Me Beauty when near the top of an open market. With one win and one placing from three tries around 1500m, he is a genuine place hope if that latest improvement holds.

Arrives in strong form after leading and only being run down late when second to Miracle Sali Chan at this track, beaten half a length as an outside chance in betting. She had won by two lengths from Rider Suits the start prior and has one win and three placings from five starts at this venue. Shoma Kato knows her well, and her reliable 1500m record makes her the one to beat.

Worked home evenly when fourth to Miracle Sali Chan at this track last start, beaten six lengths, so he has a little ground to make up on Hajimarino Aizu from that meeting. His debut win was much stronger, coming after heavy support into very short odds-on territory and beating Love Me Beauty by two lengths with something in hand. Third-up now, he remains a serious winning chance.

Could not repeat her debut dominance when fifth to Ruby Ocean at this track last start, beaten five lengths after being near the top of betting, though she did pick up well enough late. The first run was a nine-length win from Lovesick Blues as a dominant odds-on favourite, so there is ability there. She must recapture that debut edge to turn this into more than an outside place chance.

Was safely held last start when fifth to Miracle Sali Chan at this track, beaten nine lengths at long odds after racing handy and failing to finish off. The previous start win from Ruby Ocean showed he can perform at this venue, but he was then beaten by Hajimarino Aizu and Stars Of Sawa. He has to find a sharper closing effort to threaten these.

Produced a powerful late surge to win at this track last start, beating Moon Of Grit by a length and a half despite starting among the outsiders. That followed a second to Carino Sofia, also beaten a length and a half, so the recent form is sound. His record around 1500m is useful, but he profiles as an each-way hope rather than a clear top pick.

Resumed with a neat win at this track, sitting right there before letting down for a one-length victory over Friendly Grin as the odds-on favourite. Her debut fourth behind Sanei Vesta over 900m had also contained merit, with the filly holding her position and picking up late. Lightly raced and open to further improvement, she is a realistic place chance with winning upside.

Ran well without winning when second to Ruby Ocean at this track last start, beaten a length and a half as favourite after tracking into the race and fighting on. She had earlier won at Mombetsu by two lengths over 1100m, again as favourite, so her three-start record is very consistent. The task is turning that reliability into a stronger winning response against familiar rivals.
