Kanazawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1500
INUBONO YUHI (6) Close up last start here and form has been improving over recent runs. Good prospects. CAFE RENDEZVOUS (4) Got the prize when winning by 1L last run at the track. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. MEISHO MEIBOKU (9) Just average when 8th last start here. Tatsuya Nakajima is a suitable booking. Has shown early pace in races to date. Looks a great place bet. JAMBOREE QUEEN (1) Average performance when 6th last start around here but gets a favourable draw. Exotics and place chance.

Has been well beaten at both recent runs, finishing sixth behind Buenos Optima at this track when unwanted in the market after a tenth to Isamu Diamond where she gave further ground late. She does have a win from six starts at this track and distance, but her current form is a long way short of what is required and she must lift sharply to threaten.

Worked home with some purpose from a long way back when fifth behind Wave Moon at this track, albeit beaten over 11 lengths and starting big odds. The previous fifth behind Leesan Burning was fair without threatening. His record at this track and distance is more encouraging, with one win and eight placings from 21 attempts, so he profiles as a realistic place hope rather than a strong winning play.

Improved to fourth behind Wave Moon at this track last start after settling rearward, though the margin was still over 10 lengths and the market gave him little regard. Two back he was last behind Colors Ring after conceding a huge start. A past win at the distance and the winning rider returning are positives, but he has to turn late effort into a more competitive finish.

Bounced back strongly at this track last start, winning by a length from Ocean Dream as a short odds-on favourite and extending comfortably after sitting right in the firing line. Her previous fifth behind Wave Moon was plain, but her broader profile is solid, including one win and three placings from five starts at this track and distance. With Taiga Kurihara aboard, she is clearly the horse to beat.

Has put together consecutive thirds at this track, the latest behind Silver Niece when beaten five and a half lengths after settling back. Her prior third behind Gene Chen reads better, beaten just over a length after picking up strongly late. She has placed five times from 15 starts at this track and distance without winning, which points to another honest placing chance.

Went very close at this track last start, finishing second to H N Harmony by a neck after fighting hard when near the top of betting. The previous third behind Suzuran Queen was more workmanlike, but she has one win and three placings from eight starts at this track and distance and reunites with Masayoshi Aoyagi. That combination gives her a strong chance to go one better.

Has been safely held in two recent runs at this track, most recently sixth behind Deep Effect when beaten over 18 lengths after failing to close off. She was also beaten a long way behind Buenos Optima the run prior. A track-and-distance placing record gives some background merit, but there is little in the latest form to recommend her as a serious chance.

Was fifth behind Deep Effect at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths after settling miles back and making no impression. The run prior was similar, finishing second last behind Drive Tosho after again having too much to do. He has only one placing from ten starts at this track and distance, so the recent evidence leaves him with plenty to find.

Finished last behind Deep Effect at this track last start, well beaten after sitting just off the leading division and dropping right out late. She was also second last behind Buenos Optima two back, beaten a long way. Her record with Tatsuya Nakajima is a genuine positive, with three wins from six starts, but her latest form has fallen away badly.
