Kanazawa Race 10 - Race 10 - 1500
FIRST FLOWER (8) Backing up quickly for this race. Secured a close victory last start at the track. Jockey Tatsuya Nakajima and trainer Katou Kazuhiro have shared plenty of success together. Can measure up to this company. LILY BRIGHT (2) Backing up quickly. Tidy effort when 2nd last start at the track and gets a favourable gate. Good each way value for punters. MCGILLIS (4) Finished 3rd last time at this venue. Don't overlook. REGIUS (6) Just average when 9th last time around here. Displays very good closing speed. Could run into the money.

Arrives off a B2 win at this track last week, coming from a seemingly hopeless position to score by a neck over Ka Noa Lady despite being unwanted in the market. The concern is that his previous run was a distant last behind Meisho Hyuga, so the turnaround has to be trusted. His track-and-distance record is sound, but this looks a tougher test than the last-start result alone suggests.

Has built a very solid platform with consecutive seconds in B2 grade at this track, most recently beaten two and a half lengths by Face Lift after working home evenly. He had earlier run second to Champagne Star at generous odds, and the one win and one placing from three starts at this track and distance adds weight to the case. Reliable recent form makes him a serious winning player.

Bounced sharply back to form when winning a B2 at this track by four lengths over Ifritia, charging home from well back after being unwanted in the market. That was a major lift on his tenth behind Rune Factor two starts ago, when beaten over 18 lengths. The win has to be respected, though the prior run and mixed profile make him more a place hope than a firm win choice.

Worked into the placings when third behind Song For You at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after only battling on late. His eighth behind Ryuno Titan two back was plain, but he does get weight relief and has placed three times from six starts at this track and distance. That consistency without winning puts him among the better chances in a competitive line-up.

Has finished sixth at his past two runs, beaten eight and a half lengths behind Song For You last start after looking well out of contention before running on. He produced a similar closing effort behind Ryuno Titan two back, and his two wins and five placings from eleven starts at this track and distance keep him relevant. More suited as a place chance unless he settles closer.

Has been well held at both recent runs, finishing last behind Song For You last start and beaten over 11 lengths after never looking a winning hope. He was also eighth behind Maria Diosa two starts ago, beaten over 12 lengths after giving away a big start. The career record is respectable, but current form leaves him with a sizeable task.

Drops back from a 1900m run where he finished second last behind Rune Factor, beaten over 12 lengths after settling well back and making no impression. His previous fifth behind Highest Point was better through the line, and he has two wins and five placings from 15 starts at this track and distance. Even so, recent margins say he must lift sharply.

Returned to winning form at this track last week, taking a B2 by half a length over Ryuno Red Eye while well found near the top of betting. She had finished fourth to Champagne Star two starts ago, but her overall venue record is outstanding with six wins and two placings from nine starts. With a distance win already on the board and the winning rider back, she sets a clear standard.

Was disappointing when seventh behind Song For You last start, beaten nine lengths after being near the top of betting and settling handy. The run prior was more encouraging when fourth to Ryuno Titan at big odds, looming before missing the placings. Her four wins and two placings from ten starts at this track and distance keep her in calculations for a minor cheque.

Was safely held when eighth behind Nine Power at this track last start, beaten six lengths at big odds after failing to make ground. His seventh behind Ryuno Titan two back was similar, albeit with some late effort from a long way back. With no win and only one placing from seven starts at this track and distance, others look to have a stronger profile.
