Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1500
MEISHO OMINE (8) Ran well when 2nd last time around here. Jockey Taiga Kurihara and trainer Ibi Kazuya are a combination worth following. Will be motoring home late. Very competitive this campaign. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. DRIVE TOSHO (1) Came in 5th last start around here. Should improve from the last run and drawn the rails. Has each way claims. BRICKS (6) Came in 7th last time at this venue. Possesses good closing speed. Underrated. MANON ROUGE (2) Ran 6th last time at this venue but will try to take advantage of the gate. Has a great burst of speed late. Follow market leads.

Has been safely held in two recent 3yo A2 runs at this track, finishing fifth behind Ryuno Titan last start when beaten over 11 lengths after being just fair through the line. The start prior was similar, with a sixth to Mo Mo Chrome after finding little from a striking position. Drops in class and owns two wins and three placings from eight starts around 1500m, so she has the right profile to bounce into the placings rather than dominate.

Was never a factor when sixth at this track last start, settling rearward and making no impression late when beaten just under nine lengths at long odds. His previous fourth to One More Chance was more competitive, closing off to be beaten just under four lengths, and he is well seasoned at this track and distance. Even with the class drop, he has to find sharper acceleration to trouble the main chances.

Second-up after finishing fifth at this track, beaten seven lengths behind Colors Ring when big odds and settling rearward first-up. The latest effort was not a winning one, but he is far better suited by this track-and-distance profile than his SP suggested, with two wins and three places from twelve attempts. With the winning rider back and the class drop in play, he has enough grounding to press for a minor placing.

Returns from a five-week freshening after being well beaten by 24 lengths in a 3yo+ B1 over 2000m at Nagoya, where he gave away a big start and was never in the picture. He was also safely held in 3yo+ B8 company two back, despite being near the top of betting. The drop to C1 is significant and he rates well off his past 12 months, so a sharp class edge can bring him right back into contention.

Was poised to challenge but offered little when eighth behind Colors Ring at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. Two back she led and was run down late after starting a well-supported favourite, so there is at least some recent speed in the form. Still, her overall winning strike-rate is modest and she must produce a much stronger finishing effort to turn this around.

Went backwards last start when seventh behind Colors Ring at this track, beaten over 10 lengths after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. His previous second to Miss Katharine was much better, beaten three lengths at long odds, and that keeps him in the place conversation. The class drop and a prior placing with Yuma Shibata help, but he cannot afford another flat beginning to the race.

Led into the lane last start but tired badly and finished ninth behind Colors Ring, beaten over 15 lengths at this track. The start prior was even harder to support, finishing a distant last after being near the top of betting. She has won in the past 12 months and drops in class, but recent efforts show too little resistance to recommend her with confidence.

Went very close at this track last start, finishing second to Solemn Parade and beaten half a length after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. That was a much stronger response after battling as a dominant favourite behind Noel the run prior. His record at this track and distance is a clear asset, and the Taiga Kurihara partnership reads particularly well. He profiles as the runner they all have to beat.

Finished second last behind Colors Ring at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths after settling well back and never looking likely. That followed a last placing behind Shelterbelt, also beaten over 14 lengths after failing to close off. The class drop and winning rider returning are positives on paper, but recent form leaves him with a sizeable task against fitter, sharper rivals.
