Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1500
NYAN TARO (10) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 6L last time at the track. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Tracking very well this campaign. Strong chance. KITANO DIA (1) Performed below standard when 10th last time here but suited at this trip historically. Has early speed and positions nicely. Very competitive this campaign. Deserves consideration. DAS ORCHESTER (4) Competitive effort when 2nd last time at this track. Respect in this event. BUENOS OPTIMA (9) Was a comprehensive winner by 7L last time here and proven performer at this trip in the past. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the trot. Must respect in this event.

Was second last at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Champagne Star after finding the right spot and offering little late. That was a sharp drop from the start prior, when she was heavily backed and beat Kadoban Sokojikara by nine lengths. Her three wins and one place from six starts at this track and distance keep her in the mix, but she has to rebound sharply.

Strode away to beat Pod Bullet by two and a half lengths in a C1 over 900m at this track last start, when a dominant favourite at a very short quote. The concern is the return to around 1500m, where she is winless and unplaced from four attempts, and her overall record is one win from 15. The last-start win was tidy, but this asks for more sustained form.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a disappointing last-start failure, finishing last at this track when sent out favourite and beaten over 13 lengths by Dream Spurt. She had beaten Don Takami comfortably the start prior, so there is a better run in the profile, and her track record is strong. Even so, that latest collapse leaves her with plenty to prove.

Worked home evenly for second at this track last start, beaten four lengths by Unuboreyasan after being well found in an open market. She had won a C1 here the start prior as a very short odds-on favourite, and her two wins and four places from ten starts at this track and distance are solid. The winner had her measure last time, but she profiles as a genuine place chance again.

Has put together two dominant wins at this track, most recently beating Das Orchester by four lengths after travelling sweetly and putting the race away quickly. The start prior he won by a long way in C1 grade, again as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. Two wins from two starts at this venue underline the strength of his current campaign, and he sets the standard again.

Tracked the speed and beat Suzuran Queen by two lengths in a C1 at this track last start, confirming the consistency she showed when third to King Boulder two back. She is well seasoned at the trip, with four wins and nine places from 22 starts at the distance, and her venue record is also strong. This is a deeper assignment, but she can hold a minor cheque.

Knuckled down to win by a neck in a C1 at this track last start after starting at generous odds, which built on a second placing here the run prior. That improvement is noted, but both recent runs came from a lower base and her overall strike rate remains modest at two wins from 30 starts. She is racing well, though another lift is required in this company.

Led and was only run down late when third at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths by Luminous Flux at an outside quote. Two back she was third again but finished over 11 lengths behind Nyan Taro, which tempers the winning case. The stable and jockey profiles are positive, and she is honest enough to be a place hope rather than a prime threat.

Comes off two emphatic wins at this track, beating Drive Tosho by seven lengths last start after scoring by a long way in C1 grade the run prior. She has been a prohibitive odds-on favourite both times, so the market has been fully behind her, and Akihiro Yoshida has three wins from six rides on her. Proven at this track and distance, she is a serious winning chance again.

Led throughout to beat Sakura D'Or by six lengths at this track last start, starting short odds-on and putting the race away decisively. The run prior he was fourth in a COND over 2000m behind Star Candy, but his return to this distance looks well supported by a two-from-two record at the trip. Shoma Kato has won three from four on him, adding weight to his winning claims.
