Kanazawa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1500
PRESTO BAROWS (1) Did well when 2nd last start around here and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Will be positive in the run early. Must be considered. ESTIMATE (6) Weakened under pressure when 14th last start at Niigata. Can make a comeback. First appearance for a new trainer. Won't be far away. TANTUM (4) Came in 2nd last time around here. Has shown early pace in races to date. Coming to a new trainer. Appears well in this. NAGISANO BALCONY (9) Nice run when 3rd last run at this track. Jockey Junki Mochizuki and trainer Kazumasa Kaneta are an imposing duo. Watch it go close.

Went within half a length of Criniere Grace at this track last start, looming up and fighting hard after being near the top of an open market. That followed a dominant 3yo+ C1 win at this venue, where he put a long gap on Mitekure Kono Ashi. With Tatsuya Nakajima back aboard and proven 1500m form behind him, he brings the strongest winning case.

Finished fourth at this track last start but was beaten just over nine lengths by Kitano Dia after settling rearward, and he was sent around at long odds. The start prior was another safely held effort, fifth to Rune Factor and beaten six and a half lengths. The class drop is some help, but his recent margins leave him with a sizeable task.

Was ninth at this track last start, beaten just under eight lengths after conceding a big start and only finishing off fairly. Two back she was fifth to Tangent Arc, beaten just under four lengths, so the better effort is not far away. She has won at the trip, but must find sharper acceleration to worry the main chances.

Worked home evenly for second behind Rune Factor at this track last start, beaten three lengths, which was a clear return to more competitive form. Her Nagoya run prior was poor when beaten over 17 lengths in a COND over 920m at long odds. Two wins and two placings from ten tries at this track and distance keep her in the place mix.

Was beaten over 14 lengths by Kitano Dia at this track last start after racing prominently and weakening late, with no obvious excuse in the run. The previous start was also plain, finishing last behind Miracolo Eclat after dropping out in the straight. He has past track-and-trip credentials, but current form is the concern.

Back after two months on the sidelines, he comes to this second-up after finishing second last in a 3yo+ ALLOW over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. That run was poor, but the class drop and return to 1500m are important positives given he has three wins from seven tries around this trip. From the Kazumasa Kaneda yard, he can rebound sharply.

Settled handy but could not quicken when sixth to Cairns at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths at generous odds. Two back he was last in a small field but beaten only just over four lengths after being run down late. A prior win and placing from five track-and-distance attempts give him a sound place profile.

Has the right back form for this, including eight wins around 1500m and a strong record with Masaya Matsudo, who has four wins on him. His latest seventh in a 3yo+ COND at this track was well beaten, but he did work home fairly from a difficult position. The class drop gives him a genuine path to bounce back.

Continued a consistent run when third behind Kitano Dia at this track last start, although the margin was just over nine lengths and she lacked the dash to threaten the winner. She had also run third to Rune Factor the start prior after being well found in an open market. Reliable enough for exotics, but the winning edge is still to come.

Dropped out to finish last behind Kitano Dia at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths after being close enough if good enough. Her previous fourth to Rune Factor was better, making ground late and beaten just over five lengths. The class drop is useful, but her good-track record and latest fade make others stronger.
