Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
PARA FLORA (4) sets the standard after going under by only half a length at this track last start, a clear turnaround from her Chukyo failure and strong enough to make her the runner to beat. Her only placing has come from one try at both this venue and this distance, so the profile is much more persuasive than most of these. MEDIATOR (7) is the main danger, having finished fourth at this venue last start and holding stronger recent ratings than his overall maiden record suggests. Can make an impression based on what he's done recently. AVANT FLIGHT (1) was well beaten last time, but her third placing two starts back gives her a minor-placing line if she recaptures it. GRAND FOYER (2) has been safely held at big odds, yet this class drop gives him a chance to improve into the placings rather than win.

Finished well back behind Meiner Schlacht at this track last start and was unwanted in the market, so that run is hard to excuse. The better reference is her 3yo B8 third two back, when she led and battled away behind Dinky. She remains a maiden with just one placing from ten starts, but the rider change back to Kenshin Uozumi helps her case as a realistic minor hope.

Worked home fairly when sixth behind Derma Tokachi at this track last start, but he was beaten over 11 lengths and started at big odds. Two back he gave away too much start and was never a factor behind Velocista in 3yo B5 grade. The class drop is a small plus, though an unplaced record from eleven starts keeps the winning case limited.

Was second last behind Derma Tokachi at this track last start after settling a long way back and making no impression. The run prior offered little more, with a fifth in 3yo B8 grade when swamped after holding a narrow lead. Unplaced in all 23 starts and all 16 tries at this track and distance, he has plenty to find even with the class drop.

Went very close at this track last start, finishing second to Rule Over and beaten half a length at generous odds. That was far stronger than her 3yo Maiden failure at Chukyo, where she was last after settling well back. Still a maiden, but she has placed from her only try at this venue and distance, and the winning rider is back aboard. This looks her best opening so far.

Finished sixth behind Feine Krone at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths after settling a long way back and failing to come on. His previous run was worse, beaten out of sight behind Survival True in 3yo B9 grade. One placing from 16 starts is thin evidence, and he will have to lift sharply to threaten this field.

Dropped out to finish last behind Derma Tokachi at this track last start after travelling just off the leaders, so there was no hidden merit in the run. She was also safely held behind Velocista in 3yo B5 grade two back. The lighter weight and rider return are positives, but she has been well beaten too often to push strongly.

Produced a better effort when fourth behind Joanne's Best at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after being claimed late for a placing. His previous eighth behind Velocista in 3yo B5 grade was plain, but the class drop and race fitness give him a stronger platform now. The 1400m record is a query, yet this field gives him a genuine winning chance.

Made some late ground from a long way back when seventh behind Derma Tokachi at this track last start, but was still beaten over 13 lengths and unwanted in the market. Two back she finished second last behind Velocista, and Mediator has her covered from a recent meeting. Fourth-up fitness and a leading jockey help, though she appeals only if the race falls apart.
