Kanazawa Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
ROSY CANDLE (6) Came in 3rd last time here. In good order since returning from a break. Can measure up to this company. MOULIN RADET (8) Ran 5th last time at this venue. Likely to bounce back. Jockey Tatsuya Nakajima and trainer Ibi Kazuya show promise as a duo. No shock to see a win. JOANNE'S BEST (7) Disappointing effort when 6th last time at the track. Likely to be well placed early. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. SWEET HOYDEN (1) Put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of 4L last start at this venue and has drawn to do little work. Can threaten if right today.

Produced a decisive turnaround at this track last start, holding a narrow lead before letting down strongly to beat Ace Of Gold by four lengths while near the top of betting. Her Niigata Mdn run over 2000m prior was plain, but she is now one from one at both this track and distance and keeps the winning rider. That latest performance sets the standard and gives her a strong chance to go on with it.

Has been beaten out of sight in both runs this campaign, finishing last to Hanairo Mahina last start after being miles back and failing to improve. The run prior was no better, with the market also giving little encouragement. He is third-up and has a solid overall career record, but current form and six unplaced runs at this venue leave him with a major task.

Finished seventh last start at this track, beaten over 10 lengths by Hanairo Mahina after settling with too much to do and never looking likely. His previous run was similar, second last and beaten over 13 lengths behind Rinascita. With one win from 20 starts overall and no placing from five attempts at this track and distance, he must lift sharply.

Has put together two sound placings at this track, closing into third last start behind Kutsuwa Eternal after spotting the leaders a start, and he was second to Laurel Martini the run prior. The maiden record is the obvious reservation, but he has placed in both starts at this venue and again showed he can work through the line. With that consistency, he is a live winning chance.

Has finished last at her past two starts, most recently beaten a long way behind Kokorozasuno after settling rearward in a small field. The start prior was also a distant last at this venue, so there is no recent performance to build from. Her light weight is the one setup positive, but with no win from 28 starts and no placing in the past 12 months, she is up against it.

Kept grinding into third behind Hanairo Mahina last start, beaten four and a half lengths after having plenty to do, and she had also finished third behind Coeur Et Sakurako the run prior. The lack of a win from nine starts is the query, but five placings from six runs at this track and a consistent 1400m profile keep her right among the key chances.

Was safely held when sixth behind Hanairo Mahina last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after giving the leader a start and failing to launch. That followed a neat win at this track, where she beat Meisho Barista by just under a length and was near the top of betting. The winning rider returns, so she can bounce into the placings without being the strongest winning case.

Started a well-supported favourite last time but could only manage fifth behind Hanairo Mahina, beaten just under six lengths after failing to finish it off. He had also been safely held in B3 grade the run prior despite very short odds, so the recent market confidence has not been matched by results. Proven at 1400m and backed by a strong yard-rider profile, he still profiles as a place hope.

Was second last to Hanairo Mahina at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds after never getting into the race. The run prior had more merit when third behind Rinascita, though she was still beaten seven lengths. With no win from 32 starts and Rosy Candle holding stronger recent form, she would have to return to her better placing efforts to threaten.

Went very close at this track last start, finishing second to Hakusan Suono and beaten only a head after being sent out favourite. That was a clear step forward from his Nagoya COND fifth behind Clean Bouquet, where he did not quicken and was beaten eight and a half lengths. His overall strike rate is modest, but the latest run puts him in the race as a genuine place-to-win hope.
