Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1500
OBRA MAESTRA (7) Competitive effort when 3rd last start at this venue. Will be positive in the run early. Tatsuya Nakajima and Ibi Kazuya are an imposing duo. Has to be included. TOP TARUMAE (3) Performed below standard when 7th last run around here. A win wouldn't surprise. ISAMU DIAMOND (6) Blitzed its rivals when winning by 3L last time at this track. Must be considered. LONG SUCCESSION (2) Came in 5th last start at this venue but has a good draw. Could be a value selection.

Has put together a reliable run of seconds, the latest when beaten a length by Eclair in a 3yo+ C1 at this track after settling rearward as one of the outsiders. He had earlier closed into the money behind Noel and is well proven at 1500m, with a win and four placings from ten starts at this track and distance. With Kenshin Uozumi back aboard, he profiles as a strong winning threat again.

Worked home fairly for fifth behind Meisho Gorushi last start, but the beaten margin of just over seven lengths shows he still has to find a sharper finish. His previous third to Piena Paprika was much better, beaten just under a length when near the top of betting. With solid track-and-distance figures, he is a realistic place chance if he returns to that level.

Settled rearward and made little impact when seventh to Meisho Gorushi last start, beaten just over eight lengths after being among the outsiders. His fifth behind Best Tango the run prior was sounder without threatening. The track-and-distance record is strong, but recent form says he must lift notably to trouble the main chances.

Finished last behind Meisho Gorushi at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths after getting a long way back and never entering the race. He had picked up late for fourth behind Shelterbelt two back, though that was still an eight-length defeat. A past record at this track and distance helps only so much; his current figures leave him with plenty to prove.

Returns from a one-month freshening after weakening badly at Ohi, where he led but finished eighth, beaten over 11 lengths by Cumin Flavor. He was also well held behind West Leader the start before after coming under pressure late. The class set-up is kinder, but his recent form is plain and a first look at this venue asks for a much better effort.

Won with authority at this track last start, beating Chono Yoni Mau by three lengths in a 3yo+ C1 after letting down strongly with plenty in hand. That was a complete reversal of his well-beaten prior run behind Meisho Hyuga, but his overall 1500m record is solid and he is two wins from five at this track and distance. Holds a strong chance if he repeats the latest.

Resumed with a sound third to Eclair at this track, beaten just under two lengths after being run down late. He was kept safe in an open market and has a reliable 1500m profile, with two wins and four placings from eight starts around the trip. Last Yommaru had his measure there, so he looks more a strong place hope than a clear top pick.

Back after five weeks on the sidelines following a sixth at Sonoda, where he was unwanted in the market and could not make ground behind Gift Basket. His eighth to Le Vent Vert before that was also safely held. The return to 1500m is more familiar, but this is his first try at this venue and he has to rediscover stronger form.

Was safely held when eighth to Meisho Gorushi last start, beaten just over nine lengths after settling rearward at long odds. The run prior keeps her in the conversation, as she beat Maono Breezy by a length and a half at this track and had Colors Ring behind her that day. She has place claims if that win is repeated, but the latest run tempers confidence.

Bounced back strongly at this track last start, beating Ecoro Dunes by a length after proving too good late at generous odds. She had disappointed behind One More Chance two back, but that latest win is the key piece of current form and she has three wins from 15 starts around 1500m. With recent winning form and a suitable distance profile, she is the one to beat.
