Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1500
VIOLA DANCER (6) Fresh after a break. Clearly outclassed when 6th last time at this track. Looking past the last run and back to an increased distance. Shows good early pace. Expected to fight out the finish. LE DIT DU GENJI (8) Mediocre performance when 7th last time at the track. Capable of a strong comeback. Respect in this event. LONG LONG LONG (5) Subpar when 4th last time at Sonoda. Can go through the gears. Exotics chance. YUINO RESISTANCE (4) Below standard effort when 11th last time at Nagoya. Tatsuya Nakajima and Katou Kazuhiro are highly regarded when paired. Should muster plenty of early toe. Can surprise and by no means out of it.

Finished last at this track most recently, fading late and finishing well held behind Rule Over after going around at big odds. The start prior reads no better despite the placing, with the margin to Kokorozasuno out of sight in a small field. She has won over this sort of trip before, but the current form makes her hard to recommend.

Comes through two solid fourths at this track, most recently beaten just over six lengths behind Rule Over after staying in touch and working home fairly. The run prior had more promise, as he had plenty to make up and caught the eye late behind Hanairo Mahina. His maiden record is a query, but this is the most dependable recent form in the race and he sets the benchmark.

Has been safely beaten at her past two, finishing a distant last behind Sweet Hoyden last start after settling miles back and failing to improve. She was also second last behind Hanairo Mahina the run prior and was beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. Past placings at this track and distance are only minor support against that recent profile.

Back after four weeks following two very poor Nagoya efforts, finishing last in both and tailed off behind Copano Carter most recently in C1 company. The easier set-up and leading track jockey are positives, but he has been unplaced in all nine starts at this distance. A sharp turnaround is required before he becomes more than a rough minor hope.

Returns after four weeks with recent Sonoda form that is sound enough for this. He was fourth behind Derma Saturn over 1700m last start after settling back, following a third to Bloom Waltz when making late ground into the money. The 32-start maiden record is the anchor, but he has enough recent substance to be considered for the placings.

Returns from a six-month break with a strong track-and-distance credential, having won once and placed once from six starts under these conditions. She was last seen finishing sixth at this venue over 900m, where she led before being swamped, and her prior fourth followed a similar pattern. If she returns in order, the proven course record makes her a major winning chance.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fifth behind Trusted at her final run before the spell, beaten over 12 lengths after tracking the lead. She had also been well held by the same winner two weeks earlier. The stable is respected and she has placed three times at this track, so she profiles as a place hope rather than a firm win play.

Disappointed last start when seventh behind Rule Over, beaten over 14 lengths after being near the top of an open market and offering little late. The better reference is her previous second to Hanairo Mahina, where she was favourite and only caught late. She has recently traded blows with Shine Vira, so a rebound puts her into the placing mix.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a second-last finish at Kawasaki, beaten over 14 lengths behind Princess Summit at big odds. The start prior was only fair when sixth to Vuelo Oscuras, and she has been unplaced in all eight starts in the past 12 months. Others bring much stronger recent credentials.
