Kanazawa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1500
JIJI JET (1) Put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of a distance last run at this venue and will appreciate a good draw. Worth an investment. PIKAPIKA PIROKO (2) Underperformed when 11th last start at this venue. Giving another go here and have to respect the form at this trip. Ibi Kazuya stable are on fire recently. Goes close. SMILE MOON (10) Was very impressive when winning by 4L last start at this venue and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Must be considered. SAKURA RUFEN (3) First up and shot away to win by 8L first up last preparation around here. Hiroto Yoshihara is a plus. One of the chances.

Put together two dominant C1 wins at this track, leading throughout to beat Mont Royal by five lengths before again controlling the race and beating Asuma Steve by a long way. He was heavily supported into very short odds-on territory last start and keeps Tatsuya Nakajima, who has an excellent record aboard him. With four wins and one place from five starts at this venue, he is a major winning force again.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last at this track, beaten over 10 lengths, when near the top of an open market and unable to get into the race. Her start prior was also below expectations as a very short odds-on favourite, but the overall 1500m profile is compelling: four wins from 10 around the trip and three wins from four at this track and distance. Back to her preferred set-up, she can bounce straight back.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with an eighth at this track, beaten five and a half lengths, when unwanted in the market and only moderate late. He had earlier run fourth in B1 company but was still beaten nine and a half lengths after failing to quicken. His 1500m record and past success with H Yoshihara are positives, though recent form leaves him with plenty to find fresh.

Was safely held when fifth at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths at long odds, so that performance has to be treated cautiously. The counterpoint is her start-prior C1 win at this venue, where she knuckled down to beat Ecoro Dunes by a neck at generous odds. Her past 12 months read well for a place profile, but she has to reproduce the tougher, competitive version to trouble the main hopes.

Made some improvement when fourth at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths after settling rearward, but he was still sent out at long odds. The run prior was a plain second last behind Sun Ship, beaten over 12 lengths after being unable to close off. His record at this track and distance includes plenty of minor money, yet a stronger finishing effort is required to make him more than a fringe hope.

Worked on fairly for sixth behind Luminous Flux at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths at long odds, but she was never a winning hope. Her previous fourth behind Nyan Taro came with a margin of over 11 lengths, so the recent form lacks the sharpness required. Three wins and three places from eight starts at this track and distance help the case, although she still has to lift on current figures.

Has been well held at her past two starts, finishing ninth behind Bellwood Bravo when beaten over 10 lengths at big odds, after running last behind Luminous Flux by over 16 lengths. In both runs she was a long way back and never looked likely to improve into the race. She has won at this track and distance before, but the current form line makes this a stern assignment.

Finished sixth behind Heart Lock at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths after settling rearward, which was a better effort than the tenth to Kitano Dia the run prior. Her overall profile is more about consistency than winning, with one win and 17 places from 45 starts. Aoyagi riding is a plus and she has placed often enough at this track and distance to stay in the place discussion.

Comes through two disappointing runs, finishing last behind Heart Lock when beaten over 15 lengths after giving ground late, following an eighth behind Luminous Flux where he made no impression. That recent form is a genuine query, but weight relief and his long-established 1500m record give him a way back. If he recaptures his better figures, he is capable of making his presence felt.

Led and won a C1 at this track last start, beating I'Ll Chance by four lengths as favourite and scoring with plenty in hand. She had also been close at this venue two runs back when third to Fiere Girl, beaten just over half a length after being run down late. The wide barrier asks her to work early, but her recent form is solid enough to rate as a realistic place contender.
