Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1500
SAVOCA (7) Performed below standard when 9th last run at this venue. In a purple patch of form this campaign. Should go close. LUMINOUS FLUX (8) Close to a win last start here. Exhibiting good form since coming back from a spell. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. MISS KATHARINE (10) Unimpressive effort when 10th last start at this venue. Should be rolling forward early from the wide gate. Will be there at the finish. HEIMLICH KAISER (5) Came in 4th last time around here. Overlooking the last run. Must respect in this event.

Worked home fairly from well back when seventh behind Daiyu Bomber at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after starting an outside chance in the betting. His previous fourth behind Link Arms was more encouraging, beaten just under two lengths and fair to the line. With three wins and six placings around 1500m, he has the right grounding to improve sharply in this grade.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing last behind Rune Factor at this track, never competitive and beaten out of sight at big odds. The start prior was also plain in 3yo+ B2 company, when ninth and well beaten after giving away a big start. A past track-and-distance win is a small plus, but current form leaves him with plenty to repair.

Conceded a big start when eighth behind Daiyu Bomber at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after being sent out at long odds. Two back he was seventh in 3yo+ B2 grade behind Windstille, beaten over 13 lengths. He does have one win and two placings from nine at this track and distance, but recent efforts say he must lift considerably.

Has been unable to make an impression at his past two runs, finishing last behind Daiyu Bomber at this track last start after settling miles back and being beaten over 10 lengths. The run prior was another last placing, beaten six and a half lengths by Piena Paprika. Even with the class drop, his recent racing lacks the finish required to threaten.

Battled on into fourth behind Sakura D'Or at this track last start, though the beaten margin was still over 11 lengths and he was big odds. His previous ninth behind Noel was also modest after conceding a huge start. The stronger angle is Taiga Kurihara, with two wins and one placing from five on him, so he profiles as a place hope rather than a win anchor.

Has been safely held in stronger three-year-old grade at her past two, finishing seventh in 3yo A2 company behind Ryuno Titan after making late ground without threatening. Two back she was sixth in 3yo A1 grade behind Sakura D'Or, beaten over 10 lengths and unwanted in betting. Her track-and-distance record is good, but a turnaround is required.

Failed to come on when ninth behind Daiyu Bomber at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths after having plenty to do. Her previous win was far more persuasive, scoring by two and a half lengths from Duftblute in 3yo+ C2 grade as a well-supported favourite. With one win and two placings from three at this track and distance, she can rebound into the placings.

Went within a head of winning at this track last start, just pipped by Sakura D'Or after being sent out at long odds. That was a strong response to a plain last placing at Saga, where he conceded a huge start and never entered the race. He has three wins and seven placings around 1500m, and with Shoma Kato staying aboard, he brings the most convincing winning profile.

Comes in off two sound seconds at this track, most recently beaten three lengths by Isamu Diamond after tracking the speed and working home evenly. The start prior was a half-length second to Nobutomo in 3yo+ C2 grade at long odds, so the consistency is clear. She has placed six times from 19 at this track and distance, and that reliability keeps her right in the winning conversation.

Had the job ahead and made little impression when second last behind Daiyu Bomber at this track, beaten over 10 lengths at generous odds. The run prior keeps her in calculations, as she beat Bricks by three lengths after travelling prominently and putting the race away strongly. Her light weight and previous wins with Noboru Asano support a place case if she rebounds.
