Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1500
RINASCITA (4) Ran 4th last run at this track. Happy to overlook that run and returning to a longer distance. Katsurayama Kouhei stable are on fire recently. Good prospects. GUSTAV (6) Ran 5th last start at this track. Giving another go here and going back up in distance. Jockey Hiroto Yoshihara and trainer Kazuyoshi Katou form a formidable team. Genuine winning chance. ELEKTRON (8) Looked good when 3rd last time at this venue. Suitably placed in this race. KIMIGA ICHIBAN II (10) Competitive effort when 2nd last run here and getting better in recent performances. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Sound chances.

Returns from a one-month freshening after being tailed off in a COND at Funabashi, where he conceded a huge start and was never in the race behind Mikki Fight. His run prior at the same venue was similarly plain, also finishing last at long odds. The drop in grade is some help and he has past 1500m wins, but recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Dropped out badly in C1 company at this track last start, finishing last and beaten out of sight after giving away a huge start. He had also finished well held at this venue the run prior, despite being in the right place before weakening. The return to C2 is kinder, but he has been unplaced in four tries at this track and distance and must lift sharply.

Produced a sharp turnaround at this track last start, coming from an unlikely position to beat Le Dit Du Genji by a length and a half with something in reserve. That was a clear step away from her Chukyo Mdn failure, where she was big odds and made no impact. With one win from one try at both this track and the distance, she has the form to go close again.

Worked home well for fourth over 900m at this track last start, but she was a well-supported favourite and still finished four lengths from Meisho Purete. Her previous run was much stronger, leading throughout to beat Phantom Grace by three lengths as odds-on favourite. Back around 1500m, where she is one from one, she can rebound into the finish.

Made some late ground from well back when seventh over 900m at this track last start, but he was never a winning threat and was beaten six and a half lengths. Two back he worked home into fourth behind Embruxar, again at long odds and beaten nine and a half lengths. His track-and-distance placing record is sound enough for exotics, but winning requires a stronger finish.

Tracked the speed and held fifth at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths behind Meisho Purete. The run prior had more merit, finishing third behind Embruxar at long odds after working home evenly. He is still a maiden after 17 starts, but five placings show he can keep grinding into the money in this grade.

Finished sixth over 900m at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths after settling midfield and working home soundly without threatening. Her prior C1 run at this venue was weaker, beaten over 13 lengths after only battling from near the speed. She has a light weight and some 1500m background, but the winning case is not compelling on current form.

Lifted last start at this track, finishing third behind Balancoire and beaten three and a half lengths after making nice late ground. His previous sixth behind Embruxar was plain, but he had been close enough in betting there and the latest run was a clear return to competitive form. Despite still chasing a first win, his local placing record and recent finish make him the one to beat.

Has struggled in two recent C1 runs at this track, finishing sixth behind Cafe Rendezvous last start when beaten over 13 lengths and only fair through the line. The start prior was no better, beaten over 16 lengths behind Wave Moon after failing to run on. He is vastly experienced and drops in grade, but his current form reads too plain for a strong push.

Ran second at this track last start, beaten five lengths by Win I'Ll Glow after having a clear margin but not quite sustaining the pressure. His previous fourth behind Transcenko was a long-margin defeat, though he was unwanted in the market that day. With a win and four placings from 13 attempts around 1500m and the winning rider back, he profiles as a strong threat.
