Kanazawa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1500
PHANTOM GRACE (7) Came in 4th last time here. Looking past the last run. Jockey Hiroto Yoshihara and trainer Hiromitsu Horiba are a promising combination. Good chance in this event. ONIGIRI (8) Only fair when 9th last run at this venue. Capable of bouncing back and stepping back up in distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Is in good order and can run well. STROBE EDGE (1) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run at this track and has drawn the rails. Can be competitive. STRIPE BLUE (4) Ran 5th last run at the track. Won't be far away and represents an each way player.

Placed last start at this track but the margin tells the story, finishing third behind Dea Athena while beaten out of sight after settling rearward at big odds. The start prior was more useful, when fifth behind Queen Kotchan and beaten five and a half lengths after picking up nicely. Proven at this track and trip, and from barrier 1 he has the right profile to turn that steadier form into a winning run.

Finished sixth at this track last start, beaten a long way behind Lia Artesian after conceding too much ground, and the market again had him at long odds. He was second last two back behind Bear Force One, well beaten by 21 lengths. His older record at this track and trip is strong, but the current form leaves him with a sizeable task.

Worked home fairly from a hopeless position last start, but still finished sixth behind Dea Athena and was tailed off at this track at long odds. The start prior was another distant fifth in a small field behind Kokorozasuno. Still a maiden after 32 starts, and although he has placed at the distance, recent form leaves him looking up against it.

Was only battling from just off the speed when fifth behind Lia Artesian last start, finishing a distant last at long odds. He had also finished well held behind Bear Force One two back, so the recent margins are a genuine concern. The booking of Taiga Kurihara, one of the leading jockeys at this track, adds support, but he is more a place hope than a firm win play.

Has been safely held in two recent starts, most recently seventh behind Daiyu Advance at this track when beaten over 12 lengths and sent around at long odds. He was unwanted in the market two back and beaten over 16 lengths by Bear Force One. The fact he beat Cinderella Hime about three weeks ago gives him some place relevance, but the win record remains a major restraint.

Finished fourth behind Lia Artesian last start at this track, but was beaten a long way after settling rearward at big odds. The run prior was sixth behind Bear Force One and beaten over 18 lengths, while her maiden record from 21 starts is the obvious caution. Even so, race fitness keeps her high among the winning chances if she can close with more purpose.

Was never competitive when fourth behind Dea Athena last start, beaten out of sight, but the way she kept working from a long way back was better than the margin suggests. Two back she was a solid second behind Rinascita, beaten three lengths when near the top of betting. A track-and-trip winner with H Yoshihara aboard, she shapes as a genuine placing chance.

Backs up after 10 days having been second last behind Haru Kaoru over 900m in C2C1 grade, beaten over 12 lengths after tracking the speed and failing to quicken. He had been sent out favourite start prior over this track's 1500m and ran fourth, beaten seven lengths by Win I'Ll Glow. The class drop and return to a proven distance help, but the quick back-up keeps him in the each-way bracket.

Settled rearward and made no impression when seventh behind Lia Artesian last start, never competitive and beaten out of sight at big odds. Her previous run was similar, finishing seventh behind Bear Force One when unwanted in the market and beaten over 19 lengths. She has placed once from twelve starts at this track and distance, but sharper recent form is required.
