Kanazawa Race 6 - Race 6 - 1500
Open look over 1500m with few clear benchmarks. JAZZHOLIC (4) has the most specific local credential, having run 2nd over 1500m at Nagoya on 14/1 before two tougher Kyoto/Hanshin efforts; the step back to this trip suits. LOVE LOVE SEINA (6) brings winning form this season and was 3rd at Kanazawa over 1400m on 11/3 before a forgive run when last of 12 here on 7/4. GRAND IMAGE (7) has a recent placing at Saga over 1400m and wasn’t disgraced midfield-to-late at Hanshin 1800m last start. Others arrive with modest figures, so the main chances look Jazzholic (4), Love Love Seina (6) and Grand Image (7).
