Kanazawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1500
Low-depth maiden with exposed form thin. KITA SWITCH (6) brings the most solid local profile after a 5th of 9 at Kanazawa over 1400m, beaten 11.8L, and can be fitter first-up. DIVERSITY (7) had early speed before fading when 16th of 16 at Tokyo over 1300m last start and steps to 1500m. DEEP EFFECT (2) led and dropped out when 7th of 10 at Niigata over 1800m and could be prominent from a soft draw. APOSTROPHE S (3) and I AND I (4) were well beaten here over 1400m on debut runs but stay at the venue and rise slightly in trip.
