Kanazawa Race 9

1500

Stake: $8,391

ISLAND PEAK (2) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by half a length over 1500m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. URAKAWA NOTE (1) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at this track with success over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely to be there at the finish again. ROMANTIC BOY (3) made progress last time out, finishing in third at the end of 1500m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GRACIANO (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the bend before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.

Useful colt. Most recently came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track November 18 over 1500m defeating Splendeur carrying 56kg at $2.70. The start before that scored a big 4 len win at this track November 2 over 1400m defeating Jackal's Son with 56kg at $1.01. Major player on recent form.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track on November 18 over 1500m, 13 len behind Teikoku carrying 56kg at $23.40. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at this track November 3 over 1500m defeating A Shin Tips with 56kg at $10.70. Likely to struggle.
