Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1500
BEAR FORCE ONE (2) Gave them a lesson when winning by 3L last time here and has a positive draw. Underrated. ETERNAL HOPE (8) Nice run when 3rd last run at the track. Has a nice turn of foot. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . OCEAN DREAM (7) Tidy effort when 2nd last start around here and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Can make a claim in this race and is a strong each way hope. HANTHAWADDY (6) Came in 4th last time here. Likely to bounce back. Should jump out and bowl along. In a purple patch of form since resuming from a break. Each way hope.

Was well found in betting at this track last start but weakened into fifth behind Grace Rouge, beaten eight and a half lengths, which was a disappointing response after market support. The start prior at Hanshin was even more concerning when she led clearly in a Mdn and compounded out of sight. Third-up fitness and the leading local stable help, but she has to turn recent form around to threaten.

Strode clear to win by three lengths at this track and trip last start, beating L'Arc En Reve in C2 company as a short odds-on favourite. That was a sharp rebound from his eighth at Nagoya and he is now one from one at this venue, with three wins from nine runs around 1500m. With the winning rider back aboard, he brings the strongest recent win into the race and looks well placed to go on with it.

Dropped right out last start at this track, conceding a huge start and finishing last behind Jiji Jet, beaten over 16 lengths at big odds. His previous fourth behind Night Planet was far better, beaten just under a length after working home from well back, but he is still winless from 47 starts and has no wins from 39 runs around 1500m. A repeat of the two-back effort could sneak him into the minors.

Resumed with a closing third at this track behind Grace Rouge, beaten seven and a half lengths after having a lot to do from back in the field. The margin says he still has ground to make up, but the finish was honest and weight relief is a genuine help. He has placed twice from four attempts at this track and distance, so second-up he shapes as a realistic placing hope with some upside.

Finished off from an impossible position when fourth at this track last start, but he was still beaten over 10 lengths by Transcenko at long odds. The run prior was similar, conceding too much start and finishing fifth, beaten over 13 lengths. He does own a track-and-trip win and a solid overall placing rate, yet the recent margins leave him with plenty to find against sharper rivals.

Made up good late ground when fourth behind Grace Rouge at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths after starting among the outsiders. She had been third the run prior, though that was also a wide-margin placing behind Deep Effect. Her overall profile is reliable, with one win and seven placings from 15 starts and a sound 1500m record, making her a genuine place chance rather than a standout winner.

Went close at this track last start, finishing second to Cafe Rendezvous and beaten a length after being near the top of betting. That followed a fourth behind Wave Moon where she came from a hopeless position and finished strongly, so the current campaign is building well. Third-up now, with one win and one placing from three runs at this track and distance, she has the right profile to make the favourite work.

Worked home evenly for third at this track last start, but was beaten ten lengths by Luna Cacao after being near the top of betting, so the result was only fair. The start prior at Niigata Dirt was a plain seventh in a Mdn, beaten over 12 lengths after failing to finish off. He has placed three times from four attempts around 1500m, which keeps him in the rough each-way mix if he finds more late.
