Kanazawa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
GOLD BRAVO (5) gets the nod on consistency, with three straight placings and a last-start second at this track when beaten a head by Ora Veritas. Her record at this track and distance is another strong anchor, and the Masayoshi Aoyagi partnership has produced ten wins from 20 starts. PANTELLERIA (1) is the obvious danger, especially back to a distance where he has four wins and three placings from 12 attempts, though he was beaten as a short odds-on favourite last time. M T SIEG (6) resumes with an excellent overall profile and a perfect placing record at this track and distance, but has to be assessed through the break after ending last campaign with a plain tenth. WORLDS COLLIDE (3) also resumes and has a tidy record at this venue, with his dominant win over BALMY WEATHER two runs back keeping him firmly in the minor-winning mix.

Finished fourth at this track over 1700m last start, beaten just under two lengths after being sent out a short odds-on favourite. That defeat has to be acknowledged, but his overall profile remains strong, particularly with three wins and one placing from six runs at this track and distance. Back to 1400m and race fit, he has the right credentials to take a serious hand.

Has been safely held at his past two, finishing seventh at this track last start when beaten over 10 lengths after settling well off the leader. The run prior was only fair when second last behind Francorchamps, and he has yet to place in four attempts at this track and distance. Class relief and weight relief help, but he still requires a clear form turnaround.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing third at this track when beaten two and a half lengths by Ora Veritas, having been heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. Earlier in that campaign he beat Balmy Weather by three lengths at this venue and his 1400m record reads well. Fresh, he appeals as a genuine placing chance with winning upside if ready to fire.

Dropped out to sixth at this track over 1700m last start, beaten nine and a half lengths in 3yo+ A1 grade after being unwanted in the market. His previous second behind Never Let You Go was better, and two wins plus four placings from eight runs at this track and distance keep him in calculations. He profiles as a place hope if he rebounds.

Went within a head of winning at this track last start, finishing second to Ora Veritas after working home evenly. That followed a close third behind Acute Girl when she tracked the speed and found the line, so her current form is solid. With six wins at this track and distance and an outstanding record with Masayoshi Aoyagi, she brings the most reliable winning profile.

Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with a disappointing tenth at this track, beaten a long way as a well-supported favourite. His overall record is much stronger than that, with five wins and five placings from twelve starts, and he is three from five with two placings at this track and distance. If sharp enough fresh, he is a realistic top-three player.

Was fifth at this track last start, beaten seven lengths by Ora Veritas despite being near the top of betting, and his previous run in 3yo+ A1 grade was much worse when beaten out of sight. He is third-up and does get class relief, but he is unplaced from three runs at this venue and has a distance query to answer. Others present safer betting cases.
