Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1500
BELL WOOD VAMOS (6) Resuming from a spell. Right up there last run at this venue. Expecting to settle positively. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. TRANSCENKO (1) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 6L last time at the track and drawn well. Undefeated last 2 starts. Rates well in this race. UBERWINDEN (5) Ran 5th last start here. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Has good finishing speed. Looks value and a good place bet. MEISHO ROCKY (2) Was ordinary when 10th last time at the track but has a positive draw. Tatsuya Nakajima and Katou Kazuhiro rate highly together. Among the chances.

Arrives in peak form after putting together two six-length wins at this track, most recently in C2 grade when heavily supported into very short odds-on territory and scoring from Love Song with plenty in hand. The start prior was just as decisive in a COND, beating Charity Chalice as favourite. With two wins and one place from three runs at this track and distance, plus Taiga Kurihara staying aboard, she sets a clear standard.

Had no answer last start when last behind Night Planet at this track, beaten just over nine lengths after being unwanted in the market. That is a clear knock, but his previous C2 second to Best Belle Chic was much stronger, beaten a length and a half when near the top of betting. Still winless from 51 starts, though six placings around 1500m and a solid record with Tatsuya Nakajima keep him in the place discussion.

Was not beaten far when eighth behind Night Planet at this track last start, finishing two and a half lengths away after settling rearward, but she went around at big odds. Her fourth in C2 grade two runs back was sound enough without threatening Best Belle Chic. A proven record around 1500m gives her some foundation, yet the recent market view and current form leave her with ground to make up.

Led and was run down late when seventh behind Night Planet last start, yet the beaten margin was only two and a half lengths and the effort had more merit than the placing suggests. She had earlier finished third to Shark Shiny at this track when near the top of betting. Fourth-up with 52kg, she has the fitness and setup to land a minor prize, though the unplaced record at this distance tempers the win case.

Has been beaten big margins at both recent runs, finishing fifth behind Luna Cacao last start but still over 13 lengths away after conceding a huge start. The run prior was no better, last to Shark Shiny and beaten over 11 lengths when unwanted in the market. His track-and-trip record is respectable, with one win and six places from 14 starts, but the current form requires a sharp turnaround.

Returns from a three-month break after closing last campaign with two close A3 thirds at this track, firstly beaten just under a length by King Boulder before finishing a long neck from Drive Tosho as a short odds-on favourite. That beaten-favourite tag is the only real reservation. He has two wins and three placings from six starts around 1500m, and that deeper recent form makes him the main danger.

Finished second last behind Night Planet at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after settling just off the lead and starting at long odds. Her previous fourth to Rocket Body was also safely held, more than six lengths away. Despite past wins around this trip, she is unplaced in five attempts at this track and distance and has to find a much stronger finish.
