Kanazawa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
FIRST FLOWER (8) Subpar when 9th last run around here. Can make a comeback and proven runner at this distance. Will be positive in the run early. Top prospects against this opposition. LET'S LIVE ON (2) Competitive effort when 2nd last start at this track and can find a nice position from the draw. Yuuma Shibata does know the horse very well. Sure to be thereabouts. SHINTO TSUBAKI (3) Ran 4th last time around here. Expecting improvement. Has shown early pace in races to date. Taiga Kurihara rates highly. Solid each way claims. REGIUS (4) Was competitive when 3rd last start around here. Consider an each way bet.

Recent form is difficult to recommend, with an eighth last start at this track when beaten over 13 lengths behind Glygly Gluck after starting big odds. The start prior was also plain, again eighth and beaten eight and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. Past 1400m wins give him some background, but his current form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Resumed with a sound second at this track, beaten two lengths by Meisho Hyuga after working home evenly, and he should take benefit from that first-up run. His record at this track and distance is excellent, with six wins and three placings from nine starts, and Yuma Shibata has won 10 from 13 on him. With that reliable profile, he sets a clear standard here.

Improved last start when fourth at this track, beaten just over two lengths by Lily Bright, after being allowed to use her early position. That was a better effort than her seventh behind Song For You the start prior, when she was beaten nine lengths despite market respect. Taiga Kurihara has won seven from 15 on her, so she has a genuine placing profile.

Produced a much better effort last start when third at this track, beaten just under two lengths by Lily Bright, and he finished strongly at long odds. The concern is the run prior, when last and beaten over 11 lengths behind Song For You. His overall 1400m record is sound, but he has to show last start was no one-off to threaten the main hopes.

Returns from a ten-month break after ending her last preparation with a heavy defeat at this track, where she was never competitive and was beaten out of sight as an unwanted runner. Her start prior was far better, a long-neck third behind Gold Bravo after being prominent late. Three wins and six placings from 13 at this track and distance give her claims if ready, but the long layoff is a major hurdle.

Made some improvement last start when fifth at this track, beaten two and a half lengths behind Lily Bright, though the market still had him at long odds. The start prior was an eighth behind Nine Power, beaten six lengths after making no headway. He is unplaced in three tries at this track and distance, so others bring stronger credentials.

Hit the line strongly for second at this track last start, beaten just under a length by Lily Bright at big odds, and that was his best recent result. The run prior saw him sixth behind Song For You, beaten eight and a half lengths, although he again finished off from an unlikely position. With five placings this season but no win, he profiles as a solid place chance.

Brings an excellent track-and-distance profile, with five wins and one placing from seven attempts, and her season form includes six wins from 16 starts. Last start was a clear disappointment when second last and beaten six lengths as an odds-on favourite, lacking a change of gears late. Her B2 win over Ryuno Red Eye the start prior reads well, and a return to that level makes her a major danger.
