Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
HANAIRO MAHINA (1) Looked good when 2nd last time at this venue and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Will give a big sight. PECTORAL (4) Came in 5th last start at Nagoya. Should improve here. Racing for a new trainer. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Can take this out. DIVERSITY (5) Subpar when 9th last run at this track. Jockey Tatsuya Nakajima and trainer Katou Kazuhiro form a proven partnership. Genuine winning chance. RYUNO ARTIST (8) Was nothing special when 8th last run here. Likely to get back. Exotics and place contender.

Arrives in the right form after a C2 second at this track, beaten four lengths by Grande Mare when well found in betting. She had charged home to beat Le Dit Du Genji at this venue the start prior, so the latest effort still reads well. With one win and one place from two starts at this track and Masayoshi Aoyagi back aboard, she brings the strongest recent platform and is the runner they have to beat.

Recent form gives little encouragement, with a fifth to Serruria last start when never competitive and beaten out of sight at long odds. The start prior was no better, finishing last behind Salta La Linda and beaten over 20 lengths. She has won at around 1400m and has a track-and-distance record to respect, but her current figures leave a sizeable turnaround required.

Worked from back in the field when fifth to Queen Kotchan last start, beaten just under seven lengths after starting at long odds. That was an improvement on the previous run, where she was beaten over 14 lengths by Salta La Linda despite making some ground. A placing from four tries at this track and distance gives a minor foothold, but she still looks short of the main hopes.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth in a C8 at Nagoya, beaten three and a half lengths as odds-on favourite after having the right run. His previous second to Nike Iris was more convincing, when beaten two lengths and close in betting. First look at this venue is a variable, but one win and three placings from 10 starts around 1400m keeps him in the each-way mix.

Was second last to Queen Kotchan at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after settling too far back and making no impression. His fourth the run before had more merit, even if the margin was again sizeable. Tatsuya Nakajima going back on is important, with one win and two places from six rides on him, so a rebound would put him back in the minor money picture.

Has not been finishing close enough lately, running sixth to Queen Kotchan last start when beaten just over eight lengths at very long odds. The start prior was also plain, finishing second last after giving away a big start. Her broader 1400m profile is far stronger than those runs, with two wins and seven placings at around the trip, so she can improve into a placing without being a standout.

Gets in with just 52kg for a leading trainer and has the profile to bounce back if she finds her earlier level. The concern is obvious, with a last placing behind Queen Kotchan after offering little late, following another last placing behind Transcenko. Even so, two placings from four starts at this track and distance give her a suitable base, and this is a race where her best form carries real weight.

Settled back and made no impact when eighth to Queen Kotchan last start, beaten over 11 lengths after starting at generous odds. The start prior was a little better through the line, but she still finished sixth and beaten nine and a half lengths. A ¥4.4m yearling purchase with five placings from 22 starts overall, she has yet to convert that profile into a winning level.

Was tailed off behind Serruria last start despite finishing fourth of seven, and the market gave him little hope at big odds. He had also been beaten over 14 lengths by Cafe Rendezvous the run before after failing to finish off. Two wins at this track and distance show he has handled the setup before, but the recent margins make him hard to recommend.
