Kanazawa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1500
DAS ORCHESTER (4) Did a good job when winning by 2L last start at the track and showing improvement in recent outings. Jockey Seigo Tsukamoto and trainer Shigeru Satou must be respected together. Expect to go close. FAMOUS GRACE (7) Not up to scratch when 6th last start at the track. Should get going late. Goes very close. KADOBAN SOKOJIKARA (5) Only fair when 7th last run here. Displays good tactical speed. Can fill a place in this field. COPANO FRANCIS (10) Was ordinary when 8th last run at this venue. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide alley. Has some strong credentials in this race.

Made up ground late when fifth at this track last start, though the margin was still eight and a half lengths behind Estimate. The start prior was similar, finishing third but beaten just over nine lengths behind Kitano Dia after lacking the dash to threaten. She does have a win and three placings from seven runs at this track and distance, but has to find a sharper finishing edge.

Has been well held at both recent runs, last at this track latest when beaten over 14 lengths behind G T Yubi at long odds. The run prior was also plain, finishing second last behind Cairns after racing handy enough but failing to finish off. Her three wins and six placings at this track and distance give her some background credit, but recent form keeps her to a minor chance.

Was second last at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths behind Estimate after holding a narrow lead and being swamped. That was a clear step away from her previous second behind Rune Factor, where she worked home evenly and was beaten three lengths. Two wins at this track and distance are useful, but she must reproduce the better run to take a hand.

Comes off a two-length C1 win at this track, beating Good Luck Star as a prohibitive odds-on favourite and confirming the strength of her recent form. She had earlier run second in A2 grade behind Ryuno Titan, so the last-start result was no surprise. With four wins and four placings from 14 starts, plus proven track-and-distance form, she profiles as a strong winning chance.

Faded late when seventh at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths behind G T Yubi after settling prominently. His previous second behind Kitano Dia reads better, even if the nine-length margin means it was not a strong winning pointer. Two wins and two placings from eight runs at this track and distance keep him in the place discussion.

Put this track to best use last start, winning a C1 by a long way from Night Away as a dominant favourite at a very short odds-on quote. The Sapporo Dirt run prior was poor, but the return to this venue brought an emphatic response and he now gets the third-up profile. With the winning rider back and one win from one run at this track, he sets the standard.

Was sixth at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths behind G T Yubi after lacking a change of gears late. Her fourth behind Cairns two runs back was sounder without being a winning platform, and the campaign has not built as hoped. The strong rider record, four wins from 16 pairings, gives her a genuine place angle if she finds more late.

Finished fourth at this track last start and did make late ground, but he was still beaten eight and a half lengths behind Estimate at long odds. The start prior was another fourth, beaten just over nine lengths behind Kitano Dia after settling rearward. With only one win from 46 starts overall, he will have to turn honest finishing efforts into something more forceful.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing eighth at this track, beaten over 11 lengths behind Le Serment D'Amour when swamped after holding a narrow lead. Her previous run is the key reference, winning by three lengths from My Boy at this venue as an odds-on favourite. Two wins from four starts at this track and a strong rider record make her a serious rebound chance.

Back after four weeks since finishing eighth at this track, beaten just over seven lengths behind Cairns after having the job ahead but not folding completely. Her previous B1 run was a heavy defeat behind Passion Beat, so recent form is a genuine concern. A deep career record and one win with five placings at this track and distance keep her around the minor money.
