Kanazawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
SONG FOR YOU (9) Was competitive when 3rd last start at this venue on a heavy surface and showing improvement in recent outings. Displays good tactical speed. Definite claims. THALJ (5) Finished 5th last run at this track. Overlooking the last run. Should get going late. Suitably placed in this race. SEVEN MAKE HAPPY (7) Finished 4th last start around here. Has the potential to improve sharply. Going well this preparation. Looks promising in this race. MCGILLIS (6) Average at best when 8th last start at this venue. Goes very close.

Has been well held at both recent runs, finishing last at this track a fortnight ago when beaten over 17 lengths and unwanted in the market. She was also seventh to Toa Kafu the start prior, beaten over 12 lengths after giving away a big start and never threatening. Unplaced in five tries at this track and distance, so a sharp form turnaround is required.

Made some late ground when sixth to Ryuno Titan at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after looking out of contention. That was at least an improvement in shape on his second-last to Maria Diosa, where he conceded a huge start and was never in the race. His record at 1400m is sound and he has placed twice from two rides for Akihiro Yoshida, which keeps him in the minor-money mix.

Kept trying when fourth to Ryuno Titan at this track last start, beaten six lengths after looming without quite getting into the placings. Her previous second to Toa Kafu reads well for this, as she fought hard and was only collared late. A four-time winner at this track and distance with Tatsuya Nakajima riding, she has the right profile to be prominent again.

Worked home only fairly when second last to Ryuno Titan at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths and never threatening. She had been a more encouraging fourth to Maria Diosa the run prior, making late ground from well back, but the margin was still eight and a half lengths. Her track-and-distance and jockey records are positives, yet recent form says she must lift considerably.

Finished fifth to Ryuno Titan at this venue last start, beaten just over six lengths after looming and sticking on without reaching the first three. The run prior was sound enough when fourth to Toa Kafu, though he started a well-supported favourite and only worked home fairly. His two wins and four placings from nine starts at this track and distance keep him firmly in the place discussion.

Dropped away to eighth behind Ryuno Titan at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths after settling rearward and offering no clear excuse. His previous third to Toa Kafu was better, beaten just under two lengths after finishing strongly, but he has no wins from six starts at this track and distance. A return to that placing form would help, though the latest run leaves him with ground to recover.

Had to settle for fourth behind Highest Point at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths after getting back, but the run prior showed his strength when he swept home from a long way back to win a B2 by a neck from Lily Bright. His last 12 months have been productive and he has winning form at this venue and trip. With that turn of foot still evident, he rates a strong winning chance.

Was eighth to Maria Diosa at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after conceding a big start and never getting close. Two back he was fair to the line when fourth to Kenroku Charmant, but that still left him just over five lengths from the winner. His overall record is respectable, though recent efforts at big odds point to a tough assignment against sharper rivals.

Placed behind Highest Point at this track last start, finishing third and beaten just over three lengths after only being claimed late. That also put her ahead of Seven Make Happy, which is a useful reference for this field. Her 1400m record is strong, and she has won three times with Masayoshi Aoyagi aboard. With proven track-and-distance credentials, she deserves top billing.
