Kanazawa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1500
HAKUSAN SAKUYAHIME (5) Finished 6th last run at this track. Expecting improvement here and strong performer at this distance in the past. Jockey Hiroto Yoshihara and trainer Hiromitsu Horiba are a formidable team. Warrants a bet. MEISHO HYUGA (2) Was a comprehensive winner by 5L last start around here and back to a rise in trip. On a winning streak the last 5 starts and drawn nicely. Winning hope. STYLE YOURSELF (9) Underwhelming when 8th last run at this venue. Has early speed and positions nicely. Racing consistently this campaign. Possesses the talent and has some chance. NOBLE GENESIS (6) Below par performance when 9th last start here. Not out of this.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing last in a 3yo+ ALLOW at Chukyo, beaten over 12 lengths by King Cape after settling rearward and starting at long odds. Her previous run at Kyoto was also plain, beaten just over nine lengths by Diamond Hands. The class drop and return to a trip where she has a win and two placings help, but she must show far more spark to be a serious threat.

Has built a commanding winning sequence and was dominant again at this track last start, leading and putting five lengths on Daphnis in a 3yo+ C1 as a very short odds-on favourite. He had made all to beat Daiyu Bomber before that, also at this venue, and his perfect track record is backed up by strong 1500m figures. With race fitness and weight relief in his favour, he sets the standard.

Has placed at her past two runs, most recently second at this track behind Tangent Arc when beaten just under a length at long odds. That followed another second behind First Flower, though she was beaten five lengths and lacked the turn of foot to make a serious challenge. Her place rate is respectable, but one win from 48 starts leaves her with a clear winning hurdle.

Produced his best recent result at this track last start, winning a 3yo+ C1 by four lengths over Callaghan Tesoro as a well-supported favourite. The run prior was sound enough when fourth behind Best Tango, beaten two lengths after keeping to the task. He is proven at this track and distance and has an excellent record with Tatsuya Nakajima, so the winning case is strong again.

Was only sixth at this track last start as one near the top of betting, but the margin was just over four lengths and she kept finding the line after having many lengths to make up. Two back she was second in a 3yo+ B1, beaten three lengths by Amethyst Lord. Her broader profile is strong, including four wins and four placings from ten starts at this track and distance, making her a genuine place hope.

Was disappointing at this track last start, finishing ninth and beaten just over eight lengths by Seven Make Happy after settling too far back and making no impression. His previous fourth in a 3yo+ B1 behind Derma Susobarai was better, and his track-and-distance and jockey records are genuine positives. Even so, he must rebound sharply from that latest effort to threaten.

Was safely held in a 3yo+ COND at this track last start, finishing ninth and beaten over 11 lengths by Whitehead with no clear excuse. The run prior was better when second to Le Serment D'Amour, albeit unwanted in the market, and he does have two wins and six placings from 14 starts at this track and distance. At nine, others bring stronger current form unless he lifts markedly.

Improved to run third at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths by Cairns, but she started at big odds and was still safely held. The concern is the run prior, when second last and beaten over 12 lengths by Le Serment D'Amour after having her chance. Her track-and-distance record gives her some minor claims, though this still shapes as a place-at-best profile.

Failed to finish off when eighth at this track last start, beaten five lengths by Dream Spurt despite being near the top of an open market. Her prior win reads much better, leading and scoring by a length and a half from Eiyu Sabrina, and she also beat Meisho Gorushi at this venue about a month ago. With five track-and-distance wins, she can rebound into the placings.
