Kanazawa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1500
HAKUSAN SAKUYAHIME (6) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start here. Has early speed and positions nicely. Jockey Hiroto Yoshihara and trainer Hiromitsu Horiba can't be overlooked. Has the ability to take this out. CRINIERE GRACE (3) Finished 6th last start around here. Looking for an improved run. Serious player. KA NOA LADY (2) Just average when 9th last time at the track but gets a favourable draw. Looks value and a good place bet. YUINO KOKYU (7) Only fair when 7th last time at this track. Tatsuya Nakajima is a plus. Has plenty of early speed. Solid each way claims.

Worked home with some purpose from well back when eighth at this track last start, but she was still beaten just over eight lengths at big odds. The start prior was similar, finishing sixth behind Dream Spurt after being unwanted in the market. Her three wins at this track and distance are worth noting, yet the recent form leaves her with a sizeable task against sharper rivals.

Had market respect last start but could only finish second last at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths after travelling in touch without threatening. The better guide is her previous second behind Cairns, where she worked home evenly and was beaten two lengths. Her past-year record is solid and she has run well with Yuma Shibata, so she shapes more as a place hope than a win standout.

Was disappointing as a short odds-on favourite last start, finishing sixth behind Fabulous Lord and only fair to the line. That has to be weighed against her previous win at this track, where she beat Presto Barows by half a length after being strongly fancied. With six wins and six placings from 16 tries around 1500m, her best form reads strongly for this and she can bounce back hard.

Finished last behind Fabulous Lord at this track last start, beaten just under ten lengths after producing only a moderate final effort. He was more competitive two runs back when fifth behind Dream Spurt, beaten two and a half lengths, but still could not finish the race off. One win and four placings at this track and distance give him some base, though current form says he must lift sharply.

Was tailed off behind Meisho Hyuga last start after settling rearward, and the market had largely dismissed his chance. His previous ninth in a COND at this track was also plain, beaten over 11 lengths by Whitehead after being near the top of an open market. Two wins and six placings from 15 track-and-distance runs are useful, but the recent evidence points to a minor chance only.

Placed behind Meisho Hyuga last start, but the margin was a long one and the run was only even through the line. Her prior sixth behind Seven Make Happy had more merit, as she made late ground after having plenty to do. The overall profile is better than those two margins suggest, with seven wins from 21 starts and an excellent track-and-distance record, so she remains a knockout place chance.

Was below his better form when seventh behind Fabulous Lord last start, beaten just over eight lengths at generous odds. The run prior was sounder when fourth behind Dream Spurt, beaten two and a half lengths after tracking the speed but not finishing it off. His record with Tatsuya Nakajima is a clear plus and he has enough 1500m form to be considered for the placings.

Returned to winning form at this track last start, beating Festive Karen by a length after extending comfortably from the front end of the race. The previous COND run behind Whitehead was plain, but his broader record is the key: ten wins overall, four wins in the past 12 months and seven wins around 1500m. With the winning rider staying aboard, he presents the strongest winning case.
