Kanazawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
TAKEUCHI B (1) Racing fresh after a break. Ran 5th last start around here but drawn beautifully. Jockey Hiroto Yoshihara and trainer Kazuyoshi Katou link well together. Respect. NAC STATE (8) Tidy run when 2nd last run at this track and returning to a longer distance. Been in the money on multiple occasions this preparation. This field suits. MO MO CHROME (10) Ran 4th last run at the track. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Should go close. PROSPERO (5) Came in 4th last run at the track. Worth a ticket.

Resumes after four months following a plain fifth at this track, where she was just off the pace but only battled and finished beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. The run prior showed her best, leading throughout in an A2 and beating Nac State by a length and a half as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. Her track record gives some hope, but she has to return much sharper.

Closed off well for fourth at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths by Obra Maestra after having to make up plenty of ground. He had won a C1 here the start prior by three lengths, beating Chono Yoni Mau with plenty in hand, and his record at around 1400m is sound. He did finish behind Ryujin O and Last Yommaru recently, so he profiles as a solid place chance rather than the clear top pick.

Loomed up in a small field last start but failed to go on with it and was beaten seven lengths by Prime Line at generous odds. The run prior was weaker again, finishing last behind Style Yourself after falling away in the straight. His track-and-distance record is respectable, and the winning rider returns, but recent efforts leave him with plenty to find.

Resumes after two months following a third at this track, beaten six and a half lengths by Style Yourself after being close enough but never threatening the winner. He had also kept grinding for fourth behind Ryuno Red Eye the start prior. The broader profile is solid, with strong track-and-distance and jockey-horse records, but he has to turn consistent minor money into something sharper.

Led in a COND at this track last start but could only work home evenly, finishing fourth and beaten seven and a half lengths by Whitehead at big odds. His previous 900m win over Euryops Yellow showed he can still put a race away when conditions suit. The concern is clear at around 1400m, where he is unplaced from nine attempts, so this looks a tougher winning setup.

Went within a neck of winning at this track last start, just run down late by Obra Maestra after being sent out favourite. That was a strong response to his Ohi eighth two back, where he weakened badly after racing well in front over 1200m. He has only one placing from four runs around 1400m, but his latest performance and natural early position give him the strongest winning platform.

Arrives in winning form after scoring by four lengths in a C1 at this track, beating Fiere Girl as a dominant very short-priced favourite. That followed a comfortable A3 win over Ureshii Gosan, so she has done exactly what the market expected at her last two. Two wins from four tries around 1400m and a perfect record with Junki Mochizuki make her a strong threat again.

Worked home evenly for second over 900m at this track last start, beaten three lengths by Trusted after settling just off the lead. He had earlier finished third in an A2, albeit beaten just over six lengths after getting back. His overall place record is strong and he has two wins and nine placings around 1400m, so he can hold a spot in the finish without looking the main winning danger.

Has been admirably consistent, finishing third behind Obra Maestra last start after working home evenly, beaten just over three lengths. Two back he was second in a C1 at this track, beaten a length by Eclair at big odds, and his recent 12-month record is very solid. He was behind Ryujin O a couple of weeks ago, but his track-and-distance profile makes him a genuine danger.

Back after five weeks since a fourth in an A2 at this track, where she settled handy but was beaten eight and a half lengths by Ryuno Titan after being near the top of betting. Her previous run was much better, leading throughout to beat Crimson Burst by five lengths in the same grade. A return to that performance would put her in the minor-money mix, though she has to rebound strongly.

Finished last at this track most recently, beaten seven and a half lengths by Pine Peach after coming under pressure late. The start prior was also plain, running seventh and beaten over 16 lengths by Criniere Grace despite making some late ground from well back. She has won at this track and distance before, but current form is well below the level required.
