Kanazawa Race 12 - Race 12 - 1500
OBRA MAESTRA (4) Won narrowly by a head last start around here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey Tatsuya Nakajima and trainer Ibi Kazuya make an imposing pair. Expected to fight out the finish. PRESTO BAROWS (3) Nice run when 2nd last start at this venue. Strong chance. MIRACOLO CANALE (10) Finished 4th last run around here. Will be motoring home late. Will be around the mark at odds. MEISHO GORUSHI (6) Just average when 6th last run at the track. Don't overlook.

Held third at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths by G T Yubi after being poised to strike but unable to quicken late. Her previous seventh behind Cairns was only fair, yet the broader profile is sound: one win and ten placings from 21 attempts at this track and distance. With steady recent form and proven conditions, she remains a genuine winning chance if she finishes off more cleanly.

Finished fourth at this track last start but was never competitive and beaten out of sight after settling rearward at long odds. The second to Tangent Arc the run prior was much better, beaten just under a length at big odds, but she has only one win from 49 starts overall. A return to that sharper placing form would be required to trouble the main chances.

Has put together consecutive seconds at this track, most recently beaten four lengths by Estimate after looming without ever seriously threatening. The start prior was stronger, beaten only half a length by Criniere Grace in a solid effort. He has nine wins overall and keeps racing honestly, though no wins from five at this track and distance keeps him in the place rather than standout-win bracket.

Won at this track and trip last start, storming home to beat Ryujin O by a neck when well found in betting. That followed a sound third in a C1 behind Eclair, so his form this campaign has real depth. He is third-up, has one win and three placings from four runs at this track and distance, and the rider-horse record is excellent. He sets the standard and looks the horse to beat.

Worked home nicely for fourth behind G T Yubi at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths at generous odds. Two back she was again making ground without threatening, finishing seventh behind Dream Spurt. She lost to Shelterbelt in the latest clash, but two wins and seven placings from 21 at this track and distance give her a sound base for a minor-money finish.

Was beaten out of sight behind Meisho Hyuga last start and there is no clear reason to excuse the margin. The positive is the run prior, when he won a C1 by four lengths from Callaghan Tesoro as a well-supported favourite. His three wins from 13 at this track and distance keep him in the mix, but he has to rebound sharply from that latest failure.

Has been safely held in two recent fifths at this track, beaten just over seven lengths by G T Yubi last start after racing in touch but failing to threaten. The earlier fifth behind Cairns was better on margin, yet she was big odds there and again made limited impact. A prior track win and distance success help, but her current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Ran third behind Estimate at this track last start, but was still beaten six and a half lengths and started at big odds. Her previous ninth behind Cairns followed a pattern of conceding too much start and only passing tired runners late. She has won at this track and distance before, yet the recent season record without a win points to a difficult assignment.

Was second last behind G T Yubi last start, beaten over 13 lengths at long odds after settling back and making no impression. The run prior was also plain, finishing second last behind Dream Spurt by just over eight lengths. His record at this track and distance is much better than the latest figures, but a major form turnaround is required.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fourth behind Le Serment D'Amour at this track, beaten just over five lengths but closing from an unlikely position. The start prior was also sound, fifth behind Miracolo Eclat when beaten just over three lengths in an open market. He has placed three times from five at this track and distance, and Shoma Kato's record on him adds to the winning case.
