Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1500
KAFUJI UVA (11) Looked good when 3rd last time at this track. Worth strong consideration. URBAN AIR (3) First up. Average performance when 10th last time at this track. Racing for a new trainer. Winning hope. SMILE MOON (1) Came in 4th last start at this track but has a nice advantage with a good alley. Displays good tactical speed. Worth a ticket. ECORO DUNES (4) Finished 4th last run at this venue. Tatsuya Nakajima and Ibi Kazuya are an imposing duo. Producing consistent results this campaign. In the mix.

Worked into a handy position last start but could not go on with it when fourth to Lot at this track, beaten five lengths after being among the outsiders. The start prior was stronger, running third as favourite behind Isamu Diamond and fighting on after tracking the leader. Proven at this track and distance, she has the draw and profile to remain a genuine winning danger.

Finished seventh to Luminous Flux last start and was beaten over 18 lengths at long odds, leaving him with plenty to turn around. He had battled on for fourth the run prior but was still beaten over 11 lengths by Sakura D'Or. His track-and-distance record is respectable, and the winning rider returns, but current form leaves others with firmer claims.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a last placing in B2 grade at this track, where he led as odds-on favourite and finished well held behind Eight Beat Letter. His previous run at Kyoto Dirt was also plain. The class drop is some help and his overall record reads well, but he has to restore confidence after two poor efforts.

Has been around the mark without winning, with a second to Colors Ring two starts back after being heavily supported, then a fourth to King Boulder last time when near the top of betting. He also beat B B Builder at this track about three weeks ago, and the leading jockey-trainer combination adds to the case. With recent consistency on his side, he sets a strong standard.

Has struggled at her past two, finishing second last on each occasion and most recently well beaten by 24 lengths behind Luminous Flux at this track. She does have previous wins at this venue and distance, and the rider has won on her before, but those positives are only enough to make her a rough minor hope if she sharply improves.

Continued a consistent run of form when second to Buenos Optima at this track, although the margin shows he was finished well held. His previous third behind Colors Ring was more competitive, beaten four lengths after working home evenly, and he has three wins around this distance. With recent placings stacked together, he remains a strong contender despite that latest gap.

Produced a better finish last start when second to Drive Tosho at this track, coming from an unpromising position to be beaten four lengths at big odds. That was a clear lift on the run prior, when he conceded too much start and finished seventh behind Colors Ring. His track-and-distance figures are strong enough to give him an each-way chance if he can repeat the latest effort.

Resumed with a seventh to King Boulder at this track, beaten just over eight lengths after failing to quicken, and he was unwanted in the market. His final run before that spell was a C2 fifth at Morioka Dirt where he kept going without threatening. There is some older career substance, but he has to find a sharper turn of foot second-up.

Built on a first-up fifth by running second to Lot at this track, beaten four lengths after getting busy late from a difficult position. She also has a useful record with Akihiro Yoshida and is third-up now, which gives her a sound platform. The win strike-rate remains modest, but she is fit and honest enough to be a genuine place threat with some upside.

Ran fifth to King Boulder at this track last start, beaten seven lengths after travelling handy enough but not finishing the race off. That was a better effort than his previous eighth behind Sakura D'Or, where he was beaten over 14 lengths. He returns to a distance where he has won, but his recent winning edge is limited and a minor placing looks the more realistic target.

Worked home evenly for third to Lot at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths at big odds, and that was a step in the right direction after a first-up fifth behind Sakura D'Or. He has three wins and six placings from 18 starts around 1500m, plus a strong record with Masayoshi Aoyagi. The draw is no help, but he can hold a place in the finish.
