Kanazawa Race 11 - Race 11 - 1700
FRANCORCHAMPS (8) In the money when 3rd last run at this venue. Tatsuya Nakajima and Ibi Kazuya enjoy a high success rate together. Been in the money each start this preparation. Should go close. SUNADOKEI (3) Missed by a narrow margin last time at the track. Shows good closing speed. In top racing shape since resuming from a spell. Has to be included. EL AURENS (6) Was fighting out the finish when winning last time at the track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Likely to be well placed early. Very competitive this campaign. Will be around the mark at odds. RUNE FACTOR (1) Spaced the field to win by a margin of 3L last run at this venue and will appreciate a good alley. Will be competitive.

Finished fifth behind Rune Factor in a B1 over 1900m at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after having the drop on the leaders but failing to go on. The run prior was another safely held effort behind Mani Hero. He has placed often at this track and distance without winning, which gives him a minor place angle, but recent efforts leave him with plenty to find.

Went very close last start when second to El Aurens in a B1 over 1500m at this track, beaten a neck after being pipped late. That followed a sound third behind Muscle Back, so the current form has substance. The query is the step back to 1700m, where her previous record is bare, but she is racing well enough to be considered for the multiples.

Bounced back sharply last start when second to Chomechome at this track, beaten half a length after taking a narrow advantage and fighting hard to the line. The prior A1 run was too plain to ignore, but he has a win and two placings from six starts at this track and distance and has already beaten Whitehead in recent company. With that latest effort as the guide, he sets the standard.

Was beaten over 16 lengths in a B5 at Kasamatsu last start after conceding a big start and never getting into the race. His previous effort at the same venue was also plain, finishing eighth and beaten nine and a half lengths at big odds. A different venue and slightly kinder setup may help, but he will have to turn recent form around dramatically.

Dug in to win a B1 over 1500m at this track last start, beating Sunadokei by a neck after being well found in an open market. That followed a second to Muscle Back, so he arrives in reliable form rather than off a one-off spike. His track record is excellent, with three wins and three placings from six starts, and that consistency gives him a sound place profile.

Was third behind Rune Factor in a B1 over 1900m at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths, but the run was more honest than threatening. Two back he finished fifth behind Mani Hero, beaten two and a half lengths after settling rearward. His overall career record is respectable, yet one placing from seven track-and-distance tries leaves him short of the main chances.

Finished third to Ora Veritas over 1400m at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths as a well-supported favourite, but the late work was strong. He won the start prior by two lengths from Candleberry, also at this venue, and now reaches a trip where he has three wins and a placing from eight attempts. Third-up, with a perfect track record for placing, he is a major winning threat.

Was beaten out of sight last start behind Ora Veritas at this track and finished behind Francorchamps and Aoi Mimosa in the same race. The start prior was also well below the mark, beaten over 18 lengths at long odds in A1 company. His older track-and-distance record is sound, but current form is too far below what is required in this field.

Could not quicken when fourth to Chomechome at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths after being near the top of betting. The run prior was much stronger, winning a COND over 1400m by four lengths as a dominant short-priced favourite. His record at this venue is excellent and he has a proven distance profile, so third-up improvement keeps him in the winning discussion.
