Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1500
DEA ATHENA (3) Solid win by 2L last time at this track. Jockey Tatsuya Nakajima and trainer Ibi Kazuya form a proven partnership. Should muster plenty of early speed. Won't be far away. PHANTOM GRACE (7) Ran well when 2nd last run here. Will be competitive. ROSE RISE (1) Ran 4th last time at this track. May see an upturn in form and has the ideal barrier. Hiroto Yoshihara and Kazuyoshi Katou deserve serious attention as a team. Winning hope. T O NEWTON (8) Ran 6th last time at Sonoda. Giving another go here. First race for a new trainer. Serious player.

Resumed with a fourth at this track, beaten five and a half lengths by Queen Kotchan after being near the top of betting, but she did pick up nicely in the straight. The start prior showed her best form, winning a B6 at this venue by a length and a half from Win Luna Rossa as odds-on favourite. Second-up improvement keeps her in the place mix, provided she finds that sharper winning edge.

Dropped out to finish last at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Queen Kotchan after being unwanted in the market. His previous fourth behind Pretty Deneuve had more merit, as he made ground late, but he remains winless from 65 starts and has no placing from three tries at this track and distance. Others look far more reliable.

Made all to win at this track last start, beating Nac Candle by two lengths after being sent out favourite. That was a decisive turnaround from her even sixth behind Pakara Pakara at Mizusawa, and the return to this venue clearly suited. She is one from one at both the track and distance, with Tatsuya Nakajima again engaged, and that gives her the strongest winning profile in the race.

Worked home reasonably when fifth at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Queen Kotchan at long odds. He was also fifth behind Meiner Etretat two back, when the final effort was only moderate after having runners ahead on straightening. His best form is good enough to hold a place chance, but the market has not wanted him and he must lift to threaten the main hopes.

Finished sixth at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Queen Kotchan after starting at big odds. The run prior was much weaker, finishing second last in a B4 and well beaten by 27 lengths behind Luna Cacao. She is still winless from 18 starts and unplaced in six at this track and distance, so a major form turnaround is required.

Was tailed off in a six-runner race at this track last start, with Kokorozasuno a long way clear and the market giving him little hope. The start prior was also poor, finishing last behind Salta La Linda after conceding a big start and never getting into the race. With no win from 31 starts and two plain runs at this venue, he has plenty to find.

Finished second at this track last start, beaten three lengths by Rinascita after being near the top of betting and working home evenly. Her fourth in a B2 two back was sound enough in stronger-looking form, and she has a win plus a placing from four starts around this distance. The jockey change is a small query, but her recent consistency makes her a genuine winning danger.

Resumed with a sixth at Sonoda in C3 grade, beaten over 13 lengths by Miko Castana after being in touch before fading out. His previous run at Sonoda was also well held, beaten over 14 lengths by Eze Village at long odds. The class-drop angle and four placings from 11 starts offer some hope, but he is still a maiden and profiles as an outside place chance.
