Kanazawa Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
DEEP EFFECT (7) Won by a huge margin of 9L last time around here. Should jump out and bowl along. Bold performance expected. DINKY (3) In the money when 2nd last run at this track. Might have to make up considerable ground. Will be there at the finish. MEISHO MEIBOKU (5) Fairly underwhelming when 8th last start at the track. Strong chance. NAMURA PEARL (1) Came in 3rd last time here and gets the perfect draw. Better claims.

Improved into third at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths by Leesan Burning after lacking the turn of foot to make a serious challenge. The start prior she was sixth behind Colors Ring, beaten nine lengths, though she did work home fairly from a long way back. Her track-and-distance record is sound, with one win and four placings from nine attempts, so she profiles as a genuine placing chance rather than a dominant winning threat.

Worked home with some purpose when sixth at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Drive Tosho after giving away a start at long odds. Two back he was fifth behind Colors Ring, again safely held but not disgraced from a rearward position. Third-up fitness helps, and the leading jockey-trainer combination adds support, though his recent record suggests a place finish is the realistic target.

Held second at this track last start, beaten five lengths by Ureshii Gosan in a small field after lacking the dash to trouble the winner. The stronger reference is his B8 win the run prior, when sent out odds-on and beating Loveca New by five lengths with a sharp turn of foot. Proven at this track and distance and regularly competitive with this jockey, he has the right recent form to take this up to the favourite.

Finished second last at this track last start, beaten over 19 lengths by Isamu Diamond after settling rearward and never becoming a factor. The run prior was also plain, finishing seventh of eight behind Piena Paprika after being close enough before weakening out of it. With no placing from eight starts at this track and distance, she has to find a much stronger performance to trouble these.

Finished a distant last at this track last start when unwanted in the market, and that followed another heavy defeat when last behind Isamu Diamond after fading late. Those two runs are hard to overlook, but her broader record at this track and distance is far better, with four wins and three placings from 19 starts. A rebound to that older form would make her a rough place hope, but recent evidence is a clear concern.

Never competitive and was beaten out of sight at this track last start behind Buenos Optima, which makes her difficult to recommend with confidence. There was more merit in the start prior, when fourth behind Colors Ring and beaten six lengths after making ground late at big odds. Her track-and-distance place record is respectable, but she must rediscover that better effort quickly to get into the race.

Made a strong statement at this track last start, winning by nine lengths from Izu Jo Azayaka after establishing a clear margin and maintaining it in dominant style. The start prior was a seventh in A3 grade behind Lot, but he was still near the top of an open market and has since confirmed his form. Third-up, with the winning rider back and three wins from six starts around this distance, he brings the strongest winning case.

Was second last at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Drive Tosho after settling with many lengths to make up and never looking likely. The start prior was similar, finishing second last behind Colors Ring and beaten over 15 lengths at long odds. He has placed once from four starts at this track and distance, but recent form leaves him with too much ground to recover.
