Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
RIKEA SALSA (1) Ran well when 2nd last start at this venue and solid career start. Hiroto Yoshihara and Kazuyoshi Katou command respect as a team. Should race on the speed. Expect to go close. LOVESICK BLUES (7) Ran well when 3rd last time at this venue and promising career start. Exhibiting good form since coming back from a spell. Respect. M T WING (5) Was agonizingly close last time at this track. Recent form of Katsurayama Kouhei is strong. Expected to settle towards the tail. Genuine winning chance. WES WIN (2) Ordinary performance when 6th last start at the track but has a good draw. Performing honestly this campaign. Can take this out.

Went close when second at this track last start, beaten a length and a half by Karoyaka after holding a slender lead and fighting hard before conceding late. That was a sharper performance than her fifth start prior, when she was near the top of betting but never a threat. Third-up now, drawn barrier 1 and proven around 1400m, she has the right profile to go close again.

Has to rebound from a plain sixth at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Kagano Jewel after sitting just off the pace and battling from there. The stronger reference is her third start prior, when she came home well into the money, and she has placed three times from three attempts at this track and distance. That record gives her a solid winning platform if she recaptures it.

Closed off soundly for fourth at this track last start, though she was still beaten just over nine lengths and started at generous odds. Her previous fourth followed a similar pattern, making late ground from an unlikely position without seriously threatening. Masayoshi Aoyagi is a positive booking, but the 1400m record reads more place hope than winning edge at this stage.

Ran third at this track last start after leading, but was still beaten seven and a half lengths and had been unwanted in the market. The start prior was much weaker, finishing well beaten after again going forward. She carries only 52kg and has placed twice at this track and distance, yet ten starts without a win leaves her with a fair bit to find.

Just missed at this track last start, beaten a neck by Lar Tefutefu after leading and being claimed late as favourite. The failed-to-finish run start prior is a mark against the overall profile, and she is still building a winning habit, but that latest effort sets the recent standard. With Tatsuya Nakajima staying aboard after placing on her, she looks the horse they have to beat.

Was beaten over 12 lengths at this track last start, but the run was not entirely empty as she made some late ground after settling well back and starting big odds. The better guide is her second to Hakusan Tozan start prior, beaten four lengths. She has also beaten M T Wing previously, so while consistency is the issue, her better form keeps her in the place mix.

Comes in off consecutive placings, the latest a third at this track when beaten seven and a half lengths after appearing ready to challenge but tiring late. She was also second start prior, albeit beaten six lengths at big odds, so the recent pattern is honest without being dominant. With three placings from five starts and a leading jockey booked, she is a realistic minor player.

Made some late ground into fourth at this track last start, but was still beaten nine and a half lengths by Lar Tefutefu and started big odds. Her fifth start prior was also safely held, and the broader record is the main concern: unplaced in all seven starts, including six at this track and distance. She will have to find more than a late minor finish.

Finished fourth at this track last start, beaten eight lengths by Karoyaka after settling rearward at huge odds. That was better than her previous sixth, when she was beaten over 16 lengths and never in the race, but the improvement still has to be kept in perspective. With no placings from ten starts and none from eight at this track and distance, others make stronger appeal.

Finished last at this track last start, well held after fading late at long odds, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. Her previous sixth was also plain, beaten over 11 lengths after sitting close enough before offering little. She has placed once from five attempts at this track and distance, but current form leaves her with a substantial turnaround required.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing tenth at Mombetsu over 1000m, beaten over 14 lengths at long odds after settling rearward. Her start prior was more competitive when fourth, beaten four and a half lengths, but she now tackles around 1400m for the first time. With no placings from eight starts, she has to show a clear lift at this venue.
