Kanazawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
Lean to KAGANO CHROME (1) who has the best exposed 1400m form here, improving to 3rd at Kanazawa last start over this trip and draws the inside with 56kg. Debutant MARVELOUS BAMBOO (2) is a query but maps to get every chance from barrier 2 and can figure if showing natural ability. ACE CAT (4) has been safely held but wasn’t far behind KAGANO CHROME (1) when 5th over this track and trip last start and can fill a minor spot. YAMAKATSU PAPILLON (7) did enough when 5th at the trip on debut to be in the mix if improving. Slight edge to KAGANO CHROME (1) on proven 1400m form at the track.

Third up and sticking to 1400m at Kanazawa. Improved sharply second start when 3rd of 7 over this trip on 18 Oct, beaten 7L at $51.00 on soft, after a 7th of 8 here on 21 Sep at $7.00 on good. With race fitness building and proven at the course and distance, can hold a competitive spot in this smaller field.

First starter filly for Masayuki Nakagawa over 1400m at Kanazawa. Hirohisa Tachi takes the ride, and the Copano Rickey–Hiro breeding gives a staying/strength profile for this trip. With no exposed form, the set-up is straightforward and the draw and tempo will be key. Respect as an unknown amid a small field of 8.

First up after about 16 weeks, returning to 1400m at Kanazawa. Last seen here on 12 Jul over 1400m when 9th of 10, beaten 22.1L at $126.00, having previously finished 6th of 6 over the same trip on 28 Jun on soft ground. Sticks to the same track and distance with Masayoshi Aoyagi booked. Needs to show more but the freshen-up gives a different look.

Back to 1400m at Kanazawa where both starts have been, finishing 5th of 7 on 4 Oct (FIRM, beaten 17.75L at $29.00) and again 5th of 7 on 18 Oct (SOFT, beaten 7.76L at $67.00). The more recent run showed a sharper margin despite a softer track. Sticks to the same trip and venue with Shizuo Oki up, and can hold that gradual improvement.

First up after 12 weeks, the colt returns to 1400m at Kanazawa. His only run came over this trip here on 9 Aug when 5th of 8 on heavy, beaten 28.5L at $51.00. Taiga Kurihara sticks, and any improvement on a sounder surface would help. A low-exposure profile with scope to progress.

Drops 3kg to 52kg after a tough Monbetsu 1600m run on 3 Sep when 11th of 11, beaten 34.51L at $201.00 on soft. Back to 1400m at Kanazawa with Toi Asano booked. Needs to turn the form around but the lighter weight and shorter trip give her a cleaner setup.

Second up after a Kanazawa 1400m run on 6 Sep when 5th of 8 at $19.00, beaten 17.75L on firm ground. Stays at 1400m with Kenshin Uozumi aboard again. Scope to improve with that experience at the track.

Fourth up and sticking to 1400m at Kanazawa. Two runs at the trip here include a 4th of 7 on 4 Oct when beaten 14.75L at $2.75 on firm ground, then another run on 18 Oct on soft at $6.50. Stays with Tatsuya Nakajima and looks to be learning the caper. Holds a place chance with further improvement.
