Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
LUSTRARE (6) Was competitive when 3rd last start at the track. Big chance. UKIYONO SANSHIRO (8) Disappointing effort when 5th last start here. Won't be far away. ACE OF GOLD (3) Tidy run when 2nd last time at this venue. Taiga Kurihara and Kouji Fujita must be respected when they team up. Should muster plenty of early toe. Can be competitive. LOVECA NEW (9) Unimpressive effort when 9th last run at this venue. Don't overlook.

Has been well held at both recent runs, finishing seventh at this track last start when beaten over 17 lengths and unwanted in the market. The start prior was no better, finishing last and well held after making little impression. With no wins from 14 starts and no placing in four attempts at this track and distance, she has plenty to turn around.

Improved into fourth at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths after looming up before flattening late. That was a better effort than her seventh here the run prior, when she conceded a big start and was always behind the eight-ball. Still unplaced from eight overall and yet to place around 1400m, so she looks more a minor hope than a winning push.

Returned to form with a solid second at this track a fortnight ago, beaten four lengths after racing close enough and sticking on well. His previous Mdn run at Nakayama Dirt was plain, but this grade and venue brought out a much better performance. With Taiga Kurihara aboard again after placing on him and a proven run over this trip, he has the clearest winning profile.

Battled on for fourth at this track last start but was beaten over 14 lengths, so the finishing position reads better than the substance of the run. Two back she was second in a small field, beaten nine lengths after failing to quicken. Her track-and-distance placing offers a small positive, but she must find a sharper finish to trouble the better chances.

Went close at this track last start, charging home for third and beaten a neck at long odds. That was a clear step forward from his sixth here the run prior, when he worked home fairly but never threatened. He is still a maiden after 12 starts and has only one placing from nine tries around 1400m, but the latest effort makes him a serious chance if repeated.

Keeps finding the frame, finishing third at this track last start after working home evenly, though he was beaten over 11 lengths. He had also been third here the start prior, beaten just under five lengths in a small field. Three placings from five starts around 1400m keeps him in calculations, but he looks more reliable for a placing than a decisive win.

Worked home fairly without ever looking a threat when sixth at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths at long odds. The run prior was weaker again, well beaten by 24 lengths after settling miles back and making no impression. With no wins from 25 starts and only two placings at this track and distance, she is hard to recommend.

Started near the top of betting last start but finished fifth at this track, beaten over 14 lengths after settling rearward. His previous fifth in B3 company had more merit, beaten just over five lengths after working home well, and he gets weight relief here. Even so, he has to rebound sharply from a costly latest effort to be a winning factor.

Was disappointing at this track last start, finishing last and beaten over 19 lengths after settling just off the lead, with no clear excuse supplied. Her previous third here reads much better, beaten five lengths at big odds after working home evenly, and she had Grand Foyer behind her that day. A return to that run puts her back in the place mix.
