Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
RULE OVER (6) Competitive effort when 2nd last time at this venue. Jockey Taiga Kurihara and trainer Ibi Kazuya make an imposing pair. Expected to be flashing home. Can give this a shake. MEISHO BONTEN (5) Thrashed the field when winning by 9L last start at the track. Have to respect the recent stable form. A win wouldn't surprise. KEIAI GILLIS (7) Finished 4th last time at this track. Likely to bounce back. Should get going late. Can go on with it. PARA FLORA (1) Secured the win by a slim margin last time around here and drawn the rails. Could sneak a place.

Broke through at this track last start, looming up and fighting hard to beat Mediator by a head after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. That followed a close second to Rule Over at this venue, beaten half a length at longer odds. She is one win and one place from two runs at the distance, but that recent defeat by a key rival keeps her more a place prospect than the main winning choice.

Gave them something to catch at this track last start and held second, beaten a length and a half by Hanairo Mahina after starting favourite. The run prior at Nakayama was much plainer, finishing 11th in ALLOW grade when unwanted in the market. Still a maiden after nine starts, but her latest local run was a clear step in the right direction and she can hold minor claims.

Finished seventh at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after sitting just off the leaders and failing to pick up. He had placed at this venue the run prior, but that third still came with a six-length margin at long odds. His long record around 1400m gives him experience, yet the latest efforts say he has to lift sharply to trouble these.

Comes through the right form for this, finishing second at this track last start when beaten two and a half lengths by Coeur Et Sakurako after being near the top of betting. Two back he tracked the leader and sprinted clear to beat Fille Poissons by six lengths as an odds-on favourite. With one win and one placing from two runs at this venue, he sets a strong standard and looks the one to beat.

Dominant winner at this track last start, holding a commanding lead and kicking right away to beat Kyoei Chrome by nine lengths as a short odds-on favourite. The caution is his previous fourth, when he also led but tired badly and was beaten nine lengths by Derma Tokachi. He has a win around this distance and is racing well enough to press for a placing again.

Ran second at this track last start, beaten a length and a half by Kutsuwa Eternal after starting odds-on favourite and working home evenly. That came after a half-length win over Para Flora at this venue at generous odds, and his record with Taiga Kurihara reads well. With a win from his only run at the distance, he has the substance to make a strong winning claim.

Worked home nicely for fourth at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths by Meiner Etretat when near the top of betting. His previous run was better, sweeping home from an unlikely spot to win a B3 by two lengths over Sky Prelude at generous odds. A repeat of that finishing effort would put him in the frame, though he profiles more as a place chance here.

Made some late ground for fourth behind Hanairo Mahina last start, but was still beaten just over five lengths and started at long odds. The run prior was similar, another fourth at this venue after giving away ground, beaten just over seven lengths. His maiden record after 17 starts is the major concern, so improvement is required before he becomes a serious threat.

Placed in a small field last start, but the bare result flatters her as she was beaten out of sight by Kokorozasuno after starting at long odds. She was also safely held the run prior, fifth behind Rinascita and beaten nine and a half lengths when unwanted in the market. Past placings at the trip and this venue help only a little; recent form leaves her with plenty to find.
