Race 1 1500m
MEISHO OMINE (4) is the runner to beat despite the plain last-start eighth as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. His previous Kanazawa win in 3yo+ C2 company was decisive, scoring by three lengths from Abenin Maria, and his two wins from three starts at the track keep him clearly on top if he returns to that level. PRETTY DENEUVE (5) brings the cleanest last-start result, having won by four lengths in 3yo+ C2 grade, and she has the confidence of a mare coming off a dominant Kanazawa performance. BORSALINO (3) is harder to trust on current form after two sixths, but two wins and two placings from eight starts at this track and distance make him a legitimate danger back in the right setting. NAMELESS QUEEN (2) was well held last time, though her prior second behind Smile Moon gives her enough substance to press for the minor end and possibly capitalise if the top pair underperform. |

Race 2 1400m
SPECIAL SUNDAY (3) gets the narrow top call in a competitive C1 over 1400m at Kanazawa. His latest fifth behind Link Arms reads better than the finishing position, beaten just under two lengths after being right in contention, and his two wins from eight attempts at the track and distance give him the clearest venue profile of the main hopes. SUPER NANY (7) has the better recent finishing pattern, backing up a half-length second behind T O Tornado with a third behind Miss Katharine, and she looks ready to win if she can turn those placings into a stronger final result. IL CUORE (8) caught the eye late when sixth behind Noel and has three wins from twelve starts in the past 12 months, so he brings more upside than his bare last-start margin suggests. A SHIN QUASAR (2) is the place-value runner among the selections, fitter third-up and coming off an even fifth, though his record at Kanazawa remains the query. |

Race 3 1400m
ECOR DUNES (5) looks the most reliable of the main chances after finishing second to Kitano Dia in a 3yo+ C2 over 1400m at Kanazawa, beaten three lengths after travelling in a prominent spot. He was a short odds-on favourite there, so the failure to win is a query, but his overall profile at the distance is sound enough for this. CONTI MACARON (10) is harder to assess because the latest run was poor, yet she has a Kanazawa 1400m win on the page and has been kept safe in recent markets. REWARD LUTIN (4) also brings a track-and-trip win and was favourite last start, though she must finish off better than she did when sixth behind One More Chance. B B BUILDER (7) comes through the sharpest last-start result, having won a 3yo+ C2 by seven lengths from Namura Darius, but this C1 assignment asks him to repeat that effort against deeper opposition. Ecor Dunes has fewer recent negatives than the others, with B B Builder the one capable of testing them if that last win holds up. |

Race 4 1500m
SMILE MOON (5) gets top billing despite a plain last-start result, with her 3yo+ C2 win at Kanazawa two back carrying real weight in this line-up. She beat Nameless Queen by a length and a half that day and has already shown she handles this track and distance. I'LL CHANCE (11) is the main danger on overall profile, particularly with two wins and four places from eleven starts at the Kanazawa 1500m and a recent head-to-head edge over Smile Moon. RA'S AL'AYN (2) is still chasing a breakthrough, but his past two runs have both been within just over four lengths and he worked home in eye-catching style last time. FIERE GIRL (1) resumes off poor form, yet her track-and-distance record gives her a genuine place hook if she returns in better order. |

Race 5 1400m
SAKURA D'OR (7) sets the standard after justifying prohibitive odds at Kanazawa last start, beating Ryuno Titan by a length and a half in 3yo A1 company. His record at the distance is the strongest piece of form in the race and he looks well placed again in C1 grade. HEIMLICH KAISER (5) has not fired at his past two, but the jockey record with Taiga Kurihara is a genuine pointer and his better figures keep him right in the contest. SHARK SHINY (8) revived sharply to beat Queen Of Road by a nose here as odds-on favourite, though the prior Ohi failure keeps some caution in the price. ADVANCE DREAM (9) is the most reliable place profile, with regular recent placings, but he has been finding one or two stronger and needs to turn consistency into a winning blow. |

Race 6 1400m
Race 6 is headed by SAVOCA (9), who brings the cleanest recent profile after winning a 3yo+ C2 at Kanazawa by two and a half lengths as favourite, having been second at a short odds-on quote the run before. She is consistent, still lightly exposed for this type of race, and the Yuma Shibata pairing has produced a win and four places from five rides. MISS KATHARINE (11) is the main danger after beating Bricks by three lengths at Kanazawa and she stays down on 52kg, though her start prior was a heavy defeat in 3yo+ C2 company. GINZA TARGET (2) bounced back sharply when third to Link Arms, beaten a length and a half, and has winning track-and-distance form, but must prove that last run was not a one-off after a plain effort two back. DAIYU BOMBER (1) is honest enough for the multiples after a second to Meisho Hyuga and a fourth to Prime Line, with the inside draw and strong rider record keeping her in the contest. |

Race 7 1400m
KA NOA LADY (4) sets the standard on current form, having won here two starts back before finishing third behind Le Serment D'Amour, and her five-start Kanazawa record reads strongly enough to make her the runner to beat. CAIRNS (5) is the obvious danger off four straight wins at this track, including a latest success as a very short odds-on favourite, but the four-month break is the factor that stops him being a simple declaration. WINDSTILLE (9) brings a different profile, catching the eye late when fourth behind Tangent Arc after a flatter effort the run prior, so she is a genuine threat if she reproduces the latest. PIKAPIKA PIROKO (8) was costly as a short favourite last start, yet her overall record and proven jockey partnership keep her in the minor-money and upset mix. |

Race 8 1400m
DIVERTISION (3) sets the standard in a B2 over 1400m at Kanazawa, having won her past two here and justified short odds last start when scoring by a length and a half from Don Takami. Her previous 3yo+ C1 win by two lengths from Kuroyuki gives the form a tidy base, and her record at this track and distance is a major positive. BEST TANGO (10) is the clear danger after turning a sequence of placings into a last-start win, albeit by half a length and at outsider odds. The query is that she has placed 13 times from 23 tries at this track and distance without winning there, so she is reliable rather than bombproof. YUINO KOKYU (8) was only fair when fifth last time, but his two-length Kanazawa win prior at big odds keeps him firmly in the discussion. STYLE YOURSELF (9) brings winning form and an excellent recent-season record, though the heavy defeat two back means she profiles slightly more as a threat than a standout. |

Race 9 1500m
SHINATSUHIME (5) brings the most persuasive recent profile, having won a 3yo+ C1 over 1200m at Funabashi after being beaten half a length there the start before. The move to 1500m is the obvious question, but her consistency and recent market respect make her the runner to beat. RUNE FACTOR (6) is the clear danger, unbeaten in four Kanazawa runs and dominant here last start when scoring by three lengths, with the distance record also in his favour. IFRITIA (3) has been a costly but reliable favourite at her past two, winning by a nose after being beaten a neck, and her Kanazawa record keeps her right in the argument. FIRST FLOWER (10) has won her past two here in decisive fashion, including a five-length latest victory, but she profiles a shade more as a place-leaning winning hope against this stronger core. |

Race 10 1700m
NEVER LET YOU GO (8) sets the standard after winning here over 1400m by three lengths from Balmy Weather, and the strength of that result is underlined by his consistent recent pattern at Kanazawa. The rise to 1700m remains the main question, with no win from two tries at the trip, but his track record gives him a clear platform. MANI HERO (7) is the principal threat, bringing stronger 12-month figures and a sound track-and-distance profile, though he must turn around a recent defeat by Never Let You Go. AOI MIMOSA (4) is harder to trust after two plain efforts when well found in betting, but the stable and rider combination keep him in the mix if he rebounds. BALMY WEATHER (2) improved sharply at big odds behind the top pick and has an excellent Kanazawa record, so he profiles as a genuine place chance with some upside at the longer journey. |

Race 11 2100m
COURS MIRABEAU (4) sets the standard after winning the Listed Meitetsu Hai over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt by three and a half lengths, having already run second to Realest at Tokyo Dirt the start prior. His record at this distance is a major asset and he looks the most complete winning case. SHIN BELIEVE (9) is the clear danger, coming off a neck win in a 3yo+ ALLOW at Chukyo Dirt after a narrow second at Kokura Dirt, though the rise to 2100m is the question he has to answer. OUTRANGE (1) brings solid recent form, including a second to Mikki Fight at Ohi and a Nagoya win over Odilon, with barrier one helping offset the 59kg impost. MERRY CHRISTMAS (3) has G3 Heian Stakes depth and a solid Fukushima Dirt placing, but the new trip keeps him slightly below the top pair. |

Race 12 1400m
AGITO (5) holds the narrow top assessment through a solid recent profile rather than one standout run. He was only fair when fifth behind Layover in 3yo+ B1 company last start, but his previous Kanazawa win over Soul Yunibansu gives him a valuable reference point, and his record at this track and distance is sound. SOUL YUNIBANSU (7) brings the better last-start performance, running second to Le Serment D'Amour after being unwanted in the market, and his consistency keeps him right in the contest despite a modest overall win strike rate. PRIME LINE (4) is the proven track-and-distance runner of the main hopes, with three wins and one place from five tries here, though he must rebound from a plain fifth behind Yuino Kokyu. WHITEHEAD (8) resumes from a three-month break after successive 3yo+ B1 wins at Kanazawa and has a perfect three-from-three record at this track and distance, so he is a genuine threat if forward enough. |
