Kanazawa Race 6 - Race 6 - 1500
CONTINUAR (1) First run back from a break. Nice run when 2nd last time around here and gets the perfect barrier. Ibi Kazuya stable are running hot lately. Good prospects. HAKUSAN TSUKIMITEI (2) Finished 4th last start around here. Expecting improvement and have to respect the form at this distance. Has plenty of early speed. Performing honestly this campaign. Will be competitive. TABLAO (9) Fairly underwhelming when 6th last run at the track. Tatsuya Nakajima usually performs well for the Ibi Kazuya stable. Can go on with it. ACKERMAN (8) Did a good job when winning by 1L last start at Funabashi. First appearance for a new trainer. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Can take this out.

Returns from a three-month break after ending his last campaign with a half-length second to Hakusan Pioneer in a COND at this track, where he was run down late as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. His start prior was dominant, beating True Barows by seven lengths at this venue. With two wins and a placing from three runs here, he brings the strongest profile and is the one they have to beat.

Led when fourth over 1700m at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths by Rouge Mirage after being near the top of betting. His previous second to Fine Topaz was sound in a small field, and the 1500m record is a genuine strength with two wins and two placings from five attempts at this track and distance. Place claims are there if he finishes off better.

Has been well held in two recent 1700m runs at this venue, finishing last behind Rouge Mirage then second last behind Sai And Ko, beaten over 10 lengths as an 83.9 chance. The proven 1500m record is a positive on paper, but recent efforts have lacked the finish required and he must find a much sharper response to get involved.

Comes off a strong third-up platform after leading and beating Kurfurst by two lengths over 1700m at this track on good ground. That was a clear turnaround from his Ohi run, where he was beaten over 17 lengths in 3yo+ B2 company, and his overall record of 13 wins from 20 starts is hard to ignore. Well suited around 1500m and rates as a genuine winning danger.

Returns from a six-month break after ending his last campaign with a second-last at Nagoya, beaten over 20 lengths by Whitby Abbey at long odds. The run prior was only moderate when sixth to Melt, and this is his first look at this venue. His overall record has substance, but the recent form line is too plain to make a strong case fresh.

Keeps racing honestly, placing at his past three, but last start's third behind Cumulonimbus at this track still came with a six-length margin. He was also third to Never Let You Go the run prior after working home evenly. The 1500m background is solid and Shoma Kato is a plus, yet the pattern points more to a minor-money profile than a winning edge.

Returns from a three-month break after closing his last campaign with a sixth to Hakusan Pioneer at this track, beaten three and a half lengths at big odds. The run before was much weaker, finishing last behind Continuar and beaten over 15 lengths. He has won at this track and trip, but the recent form has to improve markedly before he appeals as a major player.

Returns from a five-week let-up after winning a 3yo+ A2B1 over 1200m at Funabashi, beating Satono Mustang by a length after kicking clear and holding them safely. He had weakened out of contention the start before, so the latest result was important, and his record around 1500m gives this assignment enough substance. A repeat keeps him right in the place mix.

Failed to quicken when sixth behind Never Let You Go at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths after being sent out an odds-on favourite. The start prior was much better, leading and beating that same rival by four lengths, so a rebound is possible. His record with Tatsuya Nakajima is strong, but he looks more a place hope than a horse to take on trust.
