Kanazawa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1500
KING BOULDER (9) Chimed in with a win by 1 1/2L last time at this track. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Very competitive this campaign. Winning prospect. SUN SHIP (10) Came in 3rd last time here. Should get going late. Underrated. MYRIAD TALENT (11) Looked good when 2nd last time at this track. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Should go close. NOBUTOMO (6) Fairly underwhelming when 8th last run at this venue. Has shown early pace in races to date. Tracking very well this campaign. Exotics and place contender.

Worked home fairly but never threatened when sixth at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths behind Nyan Taro at big odds. The run prior was weaker again, finishing second last and beaten over 15 lengths behind Kitano Dia. He has genuine track-and-distance history, but current form leaves him with plenty to find against sharper rivals.

Conceded a huge start and was always behind the eight-ball when sixth here last start, beaten over 16 lengths by Criniere Grace. His previous fourth behind Divertision was more competitive, beaten just under five lengths, and he does get the winning rider back. Even so, recent margins make him hard to recommend as more than a rough hope.

Disappointed when sixth at this track last start, beaten six lengths by Pine Peach after being near the top of betting. The start prior was better, running second in C1 company behind Meisho Gorushi after working home evenly at odds. He has three wins at this track and distance and gets Shoma Kato aboard, so a rebound would put him in the minor money mix.

Ran her best race for a while when fourth at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Pine Peach at big odds, but the note was that she failed to finish it off. That followed a second-last placing beaten over 16 lengths behind Criniere Grace. She carries 3kg more than last time and must back up that improvement to be a factor.

Was in the market when fifth at this track last start, beaten five lengths by Pine Peach, but she did not quicken when the race was there to be joined. Two back she was beaten over 11 lengths behind Kitano Dia at long odds. Her overall 1500m record is respectable, yet the recent lack of acceleration is a real concern.

Was safely held when second last at this track two weeks ago, beaten over 16 lengths by Nyan Taro after having plenty of ground to make up. His previous third behind Criniere Grace was sounder, and the jockey-horse record is a genuine positive with two wins and two placings from five starts. Capable of placing if he finds that earlier level again.

Never looked likely when second last behind Nyan Taro here last start, beaten over 16 lengths and unwanted in the market. The run before was similar in shape, conceding a big start and finishing seventh behind Kitano Dia. He has placed three times from ten rides for Hirohisa Tachi, but recent figures make this more a minor-place hope than a win play.

Made some late ground without ever looking a threat when seventh at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Nyan Taro at big odds. Two back he finished fourth behind Criniere Grace, but was still beaten over 12 lengths after settling too far away. The veteran has past wins at this trip, though his current form leaves little margin for error.

Returned to winning form in fine style at this track last start, scoring as favourite in C1 grade by a length and a half from Shark Shiny after tracking the speed. That was a clear response to his plain COND run behind Star Candy over further the start before. With four wins from eight starts overall and strong track-and-distance figures, he has the profile to go close again.

Resumed with a solid third at this track, beaten a length by Pine Peach after starting a prohibitive odds-on favourite. It was not quite the result expected, but he did enough first-up and has a reliable record at this venue with one win and six placings from nine starts. With that run under the belt, he shapes as one of the main winning hopes.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a strong second at this track, beaten two lengths by Yuino Kokyu over 1500m. That was the right response after she tired out when sent out favourite the run prior. Her track-and-distance record is positive, the Matsudo partnership reads well, and she should get every chance to make her latest effort the right form line.
