Kanazawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
MEISHO HYUGA (10) Won by 2L last start at this track on a heavy track and have to respect the form at this trip. Made it 7 wins on the trot. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. LILY BRIGHT (3) Handy enough when winning by 3/4L last start here. Jockey Tatsuya Nakajima and trainer Katou Kazuhiro show promise as a duo. Has the ability to figure. SONG FOR YOU (9) Average performance when 7th last time around here. Masayoshi Aoyagi rates highly aboard. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Respect against this field. IMMORTAL SOUL (1) Ran 6th last run here but has minimal work to do from the barrier. Possesses good finishing speed. Can give this a shake.

Was only fair through the line when sixth behind Glygly Gluck last start at this track, beaten five and a half lengths, so a sharper finish is required. The start prior was better, working into third behind Nine Power when near the top of betting and beaten a length and a half. With four wins and five places from 17 starts at this track and distance, he has the right profile to bounce back into the minor money.

Returns from a one-month freshening after fading to seventh behind Nine Power at this track, beaten four and a half lengths at long odds. The start prior followed a similar pattern when ninth behind Layover, beaten just over nine lengths after being sent out at big odds. One win and three places from eight starts at this track and distance is useful, but recent form leaves her with plenty to turn around.

Drove hard late to beat Zeloso by just under a length at this track last start after being near the top of betting, continuing a solid run of form. He had earlier worked home evenly for second behind Face Lift in B2 company, beaten two and a half lengths. Tatsuya Nakajima has a strong association with him, and that gives him an each-way case even if this is not a race to overstate him.

Returns from a two-month break after being tailed off behind Ho O Roulette in a COND at this track, where he was at long odds and settled rearward. His previous run was also poor, finishing last behind Syn Schiene in A2 company and beaten over 18 lengths. The class drop and return to a winning distance help on paper, but current form gives little confidence that he can threaten.

Was safely held in fifth behind Glygly Gluck last start, beaten just under four lengths at generous odds, but her previous run gives her a strong foothold in this. She was pipped at the post by Nine Power after being unwanted in the market, and her overall record at this track and distance is solid. With Masaya Matsudo having two wins and five places from twelve rides on her, she has a genuine winning profile.

Worked home well into third behind Glygly Gluck last start at this track, beaten just over three lengths despite being unwanted in the market. That was a clear lift on her ninth behind Nine Power the start prior, when she offered little after being in touch. No wins but eight placings from eleven starts at this track and distance points to a reliable place profile rather than a strong winning one.

Was beaten over 11 lengths when second last behind Ryuno Titan at this track last start and made no impression from the rear, so that run cannot be dressed up. The start prior was also only fair, finishing sixth behind Muscle Back and beaten six and a half lengths. Her three wins and two places from six starts at this track and distance are strong, but she must rediscover that level quickly.

Worked home only fairly when fourth behind Glygly Gluck last start, beaten just under four lengths at long odds, but her broader profile keeps her right in this. She was second to Song For You the run prior and has since been around Peace Ocean in the form. The major positive is Yuma Shibata, who has six wins and four places from 17 rides on her, and that partnership gives her a strong chance.

Led and faded to seventh behind Glygly Gluck last start, beaten just under six lengths after being near the top of betting, which was a disappointing follow-up. The run prior showed her true level, beating Love And Lucky by four lengths in dominant fashion at this track. With ten career wins and a proven record around 1400m, she can bounce back into the placings if that latest failure is put aside.

Comes in with seven straight wins and looks the benchmark again. He beat Let's Live On by two lengths at this track last start after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory, and his previous B2 win by a long way underlined the same dominance. Three wins from three starts at this track and distance, plus two from two with Noboru Asano, make him the horse they all have to beat.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing second to Ryuno Titan at this track, beaten three lengths when near the top of an open market. She had also placed the start prior behind Maria Diosa, though the seven-length margin shows she was safely held. Five wins and 21 places from 54 starts overall underline her honesty, but from barrier 11 she has to convert consistency into a sharper winning threat.
