Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1500
LUSTRARE (5) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at this track on a heavy track. Can go through the gears. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . MINUIT (1) Tidy run when 3rd last run at this venue and drawn well. Jockey Tatsuya Nakajima and trainer Katou Kazuhiro are a strong team. In the placings regularly this preparation. Can give this a shake. MEISHO PURETE (8) Ran 6th last run here but going over extra ground. Won't be far away during the run. Not without claims. WIN BLIZZARD (4) Did well when 3rd last start at this track. Possesses very good finishing speed. Can fill a place in this field.

Has put together a consistent sequence without quite forcing the issue, finishing third at this track in each of his past two runs and beaten four and a half lengths both times. Last start he was near the top of betting behind Sugar Shack but only battled into the minor money, while the start prior he kept grinding away behind Sweet Hoyden. Barrier one and a top track jockey help, but he profiles as a solid place chance rather than a horse to declare.

Finished a distant last at this track last start after travelling close enough if good enough and offering no finish, which is hard to overlook. Her fourth to Queen Kotchan the run prior was more respectable, beaten five and a half lengths after picking up in the straight, and she does have a track win on the board. Even so, she has to rebound sharply from the latest to trouble the main chances.

Worked home evenly for second at this track last start, but was still beaten six lengths by Sally Un after being near the top of betting. The run prior she was sixth behind Balancoire, beaten five and a half lengths when others proved stronger late. Her record shows several placings without a win, including one at this track and distance, so she is more an outside place hope than a strong winning play.

Comes through two more sound thirds at this track, working home evenly behind Nac Candle last start after a similar effort when beaten three and a half lengths by Lia Artesian. The key appeal is consistency: he has placed in all four runs at this venue and has already placed at the distance. Still a maiden after ten starts, but this race looks within reach and his reliable profile makes him the one to beat.

Ran second to Ace Of Gold at this track last start, beaten four lengths after settling rearward, so there was some merit in the effort. The issue is that his start prior was a distant third, beaten over 11 lengths by Meisho Bonten despite being near the top of an open market. He has placed often enough at this venue and distance, but others bring stronger recent figures for the win.

Has been building a strong place profile, finishing third at this track in both recent runs despite starting at generous odds each time. Last start she worked home evenly behind Sweet Hoyden, beaten five and a half lengths, after grinding into third behind Hanairo Mahina the run before. With four placings from five attempts at this track and distance, she brings enough substance to be a serious winning chance.

Was fourth to Sweet Hoyden at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after settling handy and starting unwanted in the market. His previous third behind Kutsuwa Eternal had more merit, coming from a long way back to get into the money at big odds. He has placed twice from three runs at this venue and twice from two rides with Shizuo Oki, so he fits as a realistic minor-money chance.

Backs up after a disappointing sixth in a C2C1 over 900m at this track, where she was a short odds-on favourite but did not go on after holding a handy spot. The start prior was better, fighting hard to beat Haru Kaoru by just under a length over 900m. She drops in grade and the winning rider returns, but the move back to 1500m asks a clear question after one unplaced try around this distance.

Worked home fairly from well back when fifth to Sweet Hoyden at this track last start, but she was beaten eight lengths and never a winning chance. That followed a sixth behind Hanairo Mahina when giving the leader a start and failing to launch a serious challenge. A previous track-and-distance win and Taiga Kurihara going back on help her case, but recent margins leave her as an outside hope.
