Kanazawa Race 8

1500

Stake: $16,854

MANI HERO (4) has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Major player. DATE HIRYU (8) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third here two starts back then scored by half a length as favourite last time out over 1500m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. LESAILES DE LAPAIX (2) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 1400m at Tokyo. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. ORENO NAOMI (3) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing eighth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Don't underestimate in this much easier assignment.

Recent form sound. At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on May 20 over 1500m, 3 len behind Yogurt Nan with 57kg at $2.40. The start before that favourite; won by 30 len at this track May 5 over 1400m defeating Peace Ocean carrying 57kg at $1.90. One of the chief contenders.

Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, 12th of 16 at Hanshin Dirt on April 19 over 1200m, 16 len behind Vrtrahan carrying 57.0kg at $138. Second-up 12th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on May 4 over 1200m, 14 len behind Copano Marron carrying 57.0kg at $357.50. Likely to find them too smart.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run won by 0.5 len at this track May 5 over 1500m defeating Melonpan Mania with 57kg at $3.90. The run before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on April 20 over 1400m, 4 len behind Dalbam with 57kg at $24.70. Sure to go well again.
