Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
KIMIGA ICHIBAN II (7) Ordinary performance when 9th last start here. Has the potential to improve sharply. Shows good early pace. Can have an impact. GUSTAV (4) Came in 4th last start around here. Likely to bounce back. Jockey Hiroto Yoshihara is currently in strong form for this stable. Has plenty of early speed. Must respect in this event. MY BOND (6) First up from a break. Came in 7th last run at Kawasaki. Is capable of a resurgence. First start for a new trainer. Will be there at the finish. GLYPTOGRAPHY (1) First up after a break. Finished 7th last run at Kyoto. Is capable of a resurgence and has the ideal draw. Coming back in trip. Solid place bet prospects.

Returns from a six-month break after ending last campaign with a seventh in an ALLOW over 1800m at Kyoto, beaten just over four lengths behind Madison Girl after settling rearward. His run prior at Kyoto Dirt was plain, but he was meeting ALLOW company and is now with Kazuya Ibi, the top-ranked trainer for wins at this track. Barrier 1 and Tatsuya Nakajima give him the right platform, and his ratings profile makes him the one to beat.

Has been soundly beaten in two C1 runs at this venue, latest sixth of seven behind Serruria when beaten a long way after working home only fairly. The start prior was a fourth behind Cafe Rendezvous, still beaten just over nine lengths. He does get weight relief and owns six wins and 13 places from 49 starts at this track and distance, but recent output leaves a steep task.

Has struggled to make an impact in recent C1 company, finishing last behind Serruria last start when unwanted in the market and a distant margin from the winner. She was also beaten over 12 lengths when fifth to Cafe Rendezvous the start prior. Two wins and 14 places from 47 starts at this track and distance keep some historical credit, but current form is hard to endorse.

Comes through the right recent form line, finishing fourth behind Grande Mare at this venue last start despite being unwanted in the market and not quite finishing it off. He had tracked the speed when fifth over 900m at this track the run prior, and his seven track-and-distance attempts have produced three placings. Still a maiden after 18 starts, but current ratings and the H Yoshihara/Kazuyoshi Kato pairing keep him firmly in the winning mix.

Showed a better finish than the result suggests when fifth behind Grande Mare at this venue last start, picking up nicely in the straight after starting big odds. His previous run over 900m was similar, settling well back and working home fairly without threatening. He has won at this track and distance and has a useful rider record with Satoshi Yonekura, so he profiles as a sound place chance.

Resumes after a three-month break following a well-beaten seventh in a COND at Kawasaki, where he was among the outsiders and could not make ground. His previous run was also plain, finishing last behind Boncellensis after conceding a huge start. One win and one place from five starts at this distance is a small positive, but he has to show much more first-up.

Turned in a flat effort when second last behind Grande Mare at this venue last start, beaten over 18 lengths at generous odds with no obvious excuse. The start prior reads much better, a second at this track when beaten five lengths after being unable to sustain the pressure. His one win and three places from six starts at this track and distance keep him in the place conversation if he rebounds.
