Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1500
MINUIT (9) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run here. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. SOL TIARA (10) Tidy run when 2nd last time around here. First start for a new trainer. Will be around the mark at odds. RIVER JEWEL (1) Finished 7th last time at Monbetsu. Can make a comeback and has a nice advantage with a good draw. First appearance for a new trainer and racing over more ground. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. MEINER ORACLE (4) Folded up in the straight when 12th last run at Nakayama and will be facing a significant drop in distance. One at a decent price.

Led at Mombetsu last start in a C4 over 1000m and was still in front at the turn before being swamped late, finishing seventh and beaten six and a half lengths. The start prior was stronger when fourth, beaten a length and a half, after being near the top of betting. She is unplaced from two tries around 1500m, but the class drop and inside draw keep her in the main winning mix.

Finished last at this track a fortnight ago, beaten over 20 lengths at big odds after being unable to close the race off. The run prior was no better, also last and beaten a long way after dropping out sharply. She has placed once at this track and distance, but the recent form is too plain to recommend with any confidence.

Has been well held in consecutive runs at this venue, most recently last behind Para Flora and beaten over 12 lengths after settling a long way back. He was also beaten over 14 lengths by Feine Krone two starts ago and was at long odds there. One placing from 17 starts around 1500m leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing 12th in a Nakayama Mdn over 2000m, beaten over 13 lengths at big odds when he could not quicken in the straight. His previous Niigata seventh over 2200m was fairer without threatening. The 1500m is new, but the class drop and Tatsuya Nakajima booking make him a serious improver in this line-up.

Was second last at this track most recently, well beaten by 21 lengths behind Feine Krone, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. Two starts ago she was seventh in B3 company, beaten over 11 lengths after settling just off the lead. She is unplaced in three attempts at this track and distance, so a sharp turnaround is required.

Settled a long way back at this track last start and never made an impression when sixth, beaten over 18 lengths behind Meisho Bonten. She did work home at her previous run, but still finished fifth and beaten over 15 lengths. The light weight is some help, though she remains winless with one placing from 12 starts.

Made late ground for fourth at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths by Sweet Hoyden after having many lengths to make up, though he was beaten as favourite. The run prior at Nakayama in a Mdn was plain from well back. He is unplaced from five attempts around 1500m, but the latest effort shows enough to keep him in the place discussion.

Was fifth behind Para Flora at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths after giving himself too much to do and never looking likely. That did improve on his second-last effort behind Derma Tokachi, but he is still winless and unplaced from 24 starts. With no placing from 22 tries around 1500m, he profiles as a minor hope only.

Comes in off consecutive thirds at this track, first beaten two lengths by Rule Over when near the top of betting, then finishing third behind Sweet Hoyden after working home from a difficult position. He has placed twice from three starts around 1500m and has already handled this venue well. In a race light on winning form, that consistency makes him the one to beat.

Improved second-up when runner-up at this track, although the margin was a heavy one at 30 lengths behind Upturn Day. She did pass a few late there, and her Niigata Mdn tenth before that was only beaten just over four lengths despite being unwanted in the market. Third-up, she has a place profile if the latest effort proves a genuine step forward.
