Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
WIN BLIZZARD (3) has the most reliable recent profile, with consecutive seconds at this track and a latest effort behind Derma Tokachi where he was beaten two lengths after working home evenly. His record at both this venue and the distance reads well enough for this grade, and the class-drop setup gives him the clearest winning case. ZEPHYRIA (7) is the obvious danger after running second at this track as an odds-on favourite; she was not quite good enough there, but that was still a clear lift on her Niigata Dirt maiden run and she remains a serious chance with Taiga Kurihara staying aboard. SHADOW CRY (5) has been consistent without winning, finishing fourth then third at this venue, and her two placings at around 1400m give her a sound place base if she can produce a sharper turn of foot. ANZAN TAKAHIRO (4) has stronger historical credentials as a track-and-trip winner, though recent beaten margins leave him looking more a minor-money hope than a runner to trust for the win.

Returns from a two-month break after fading out at Niigata over 1000m, where she led narrowly into the lane but weakened to finish second last, beaten just under ten lengths. She had also been beaten over 10 lengths there the run prior. The class drop and inside draw help, but her one previous 1400m attempt produced no placing, so she profiles as a rough chance only if she finds clear improvement.

Has been soundly beaten at both recent starts at this venue, finishing last over 17 lengths from Laurel Martini last start after coming under pressure late. The run prior was even tougher to make a case from, when she finished a distant last behind Survival True in 3yo B9 grade. A class drop is some help, but her current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Comes through two solid seconds at this track and looks the most dependable runner in the race. He was beaten two lengths by Derma Tokachi last start after working home evenly, following a 3yo B1 placing behind La Luz when sent out short odds-on. Placed at both tries at the distance and at this venue, with the winning rider back, he has the right profile to break through.

Carries the strongest old track-and-trip credentials in the field, with three wins and ten placings from 90 starts around 1400m, but his current form has been below that standard. He was fifth last start, beaten over 20 lengths by Nac Regina, after a seventh behind Meiner Exult when never a threat. The class drop and rider angle keep him in the place mix rather than the winning seat.

Held her form at this venue with a third last start behind Feine Krone, beaten five and a half lengths, after finishing fourth behind Keiai Gillis in 3yo B3 grade. She was near the top of betting at both runs, so the market has expected more, but two placings from her tries at this distance are a plus. Solid enough for the minors if she can quicken when required.

Worked home well enough for fourth at this track last start, but the margin was still over 14 lengths behind Nac Regina. Her previous run was similar, finishing seventh behind Embruxar after being unable to make headway. She has placed at both this venue and around 1400m, and the class drop helps, but a sharper overall effort is required.

Put herself back into calculations with a second at this track last start, beaten three lengths by Meiner Schlacht after being sent out an odds-on favourite. She was sound without landing the money there, and that was stronger than her earlier seventh in a Niigata Dirt 3yo Maiden when unwanted in betting. Back in suitable grade with a leading jockey aboard, she has clear winning claims.

Has finished sixth at his past two starts at this venue and the margins make grim reading. He was well beaten behind Nac Regina last start after conceding a huge start, and before that was never competitive behind Survival True in 3yo B9 grade. His 1400m placing record offers only minor support, while six unplaced track-and-distance runs leave others far more appealing.
