Kanazawa Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
KOKOROZASUNO (1) Won with a leg in the air by 5L last start around here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Expecting to settle positively. Don't overlook. NAMURA STELLA (7) Mediocre performance when 6th last run here. Happy to forgive that run. Has the ability to figure. MARUKAN PRESTO (5) Competitive effort when 2nd last start at Tokyo City Keiba. Should muster plenty of early toe. Right in this. COLORAMA (3) Came in 4th last start around here. One at a decent price.

Returns off a six-week let-up after a dominant B6 win at this track, leading throughout as odds-on favourite and beating Transcenko by five lengths. That was a sharp turnaround from a moderate ninth at Chukyo when unwanted in the market, and the class drop now strengthens the case. Proven at 1400m, one from one at this venue and reunited with the winning rider, she has the right profile to take beating again.

Has been well out of her ground on recent evidence, finishing last at this track a fortnight ago when never competitive and beaten out of sight by Meiner Etretat. She had also been tailed off in a B9 the run prior after starting at long odds. The weight relief is a small positive, but a 27-start maiden record and no placing from ten track-and-distance attempts leave her with plenty to find.

Returns after a one-month break following a fourth at this track, where he settled rearward and was beaten over 12 lengths by Meiner Exult as one of the outsiders. His previous fifth behind Festive Iris was more competitive without threatening, and he remains winless after 16 starts. A prior placing at this track and distance offers some minor support, but he looks more a rough place chance than a winning threat.

Made some late ground without ever threatening when fifth at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Rinascita after giving away too much start. The run prior was plainly poor, finishing last and beaten out of sight behind Leesan Burning. Her overall 1400m record is sound enough, with three wins and seven placings, and the winning rider returns, so she can be entertained for a place if sharper early.

Went close in a C3 at Ohi last start, finishing second to Black Red by a length and a half despite going around at big odds. His previous seventh over 1200m had more merit than it reads, as he was well back before closing off fairly. The maiden record is the obvious knock, but two placings from four attempts around 1400m and the class drop make him a serious winning danger.

Comes off another plain effort at this track, finishing last and beaten a long way by Salta La Linda after conceding a huge start. That followed an 11th at Mombetsu in C4 company, where he was unwanted in the market and failed to improve. He has placed at 1400m, but the 30-start maiden record and current form slump make a sudden turnaround difficult to support.

Dropped out sharply when sixth at this track last start, beaten over 19 lengths by Salta La Linda after being near the top of betting and fading late. Her start prior was a much better guide, winning a B6 at this venue by two lengths over Meiner Etretat as a dominant odds-on favourite. If she returns to that level she is a genuine place hope, though the latest run stops her being rated higher.
