Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1500
WIN LOVE SONG (6) Won by 3/4L last run around here. Unbeaten last 2 runs. Jockey Tatsuya Nakajima and trainer Katou Kazuhiro must be respected together. Winning claims. KITTEN'S SILVER (1) Disappointing display when 4th last start around here but drawn beautifully. Should jump out and bowl along. Showing good ability since returning from a spell. Will be competitive. OCEAN DREAM (4) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Came in 5th last time around here. Looks a value runner. WAVE MOON (7) Finished 9th last time at Chukyo and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Will be pushing for a forward position early. First appearance for a new trainer. Could sneak a place.

Back after five weeks following a fourth at this track where he was never competitive and was beaten out of sight in 3yo A3 company, having loomed before finding little. His third to Crimson Burst in 3yo A4 grade prior was better, and he has won at around 1500m. The class drop and winning rider help, but the latest run leaves him with plenty to restore.

Safely held when sixth to Leesan Burning in 3yo+ C2 grade at this track, beaten over 10 lengths after starting at long odds. Her previous third to Pretty Deneuve came when she worked past tiring runners, but she was still beaten six and a half lengths. The class drop is some help, yet the recent margins say she must find a sharper finish.

Has been well beaten in two recent 3yo A3 runs at this track, finishing second last to Lot after settling rearward and previously fifth behind Champagne Star when unwanted in betting. The case rests on the class drop, two placings from eight at this track and distance, and the winning rider returning. She is not a win-focused runner on recent figures, but can lift into the minor money.

Back from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a sound fifth at this track, beaten two and a half lengths after making up ground from well back. She had also been third here the run prior at long odds, and her two starts at this distance have produced a win and a placing. Freshness is the unknown, but her last-campaign form gives her a realistic placing platform.

Comes off consecutive seconds at this track in 3yo+ C2 company, latest behind H N Harmony when near the top of betting but safely held by three lengths. The run prior behind Leesan Burning was also honest without threatening. Her track-and-trip record is strong, with one win and three placings from four, so she appeals as a dependable place hope rather than a standout winner.

Back after five weeks chasing three wins in succession, having beaten Daiyu Advance in a 3yo B4 at this track after tracking the speed and fighting hard. The previous win over Lady Aggressor was far more dominant, stretching clear by six lengths as a well-supported favourite. Two wins and a place from three at this track and distance, plus a previous win for Tatsuya Nakajima, give her a strong profile.

Back after two months with the strongest outside form, having run second to Cefalu in a 3yo Maiden over 2000m at Chukyo before a ninth to Ask Boom Kiseki there when sent out favourite and asked to make up too much ground. The first look at around 1500m is the main query, but he brings top recent ratings, a class drop and a leading jockey in Taiga Kurihara. This is a much more suitable winning chance than his maiden record suggests.

Form has tapered away badly, with a last to Leesan Burning at this track when in the right spot before dropping out sharply and being beaten a long way. The seventh to Smile Moon prior was also over 10 lengths adrift at big odds. Class relief and past track form are positives on paper only; he has to show a far stronger response.

Had no impact in 3yo+ COND grade last start, finishing last to Whitehead at this track and beaten over 17 lengths after conceding a big start. His third to B B Builder prior still came in a small field and nine lengths from the winner. The 1500m experience is extensive, but he is winless from 16 at this track and distance and current output leaves him hard to recommend.
