|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo with A Shin Quasar and Blue Trailer leading from Il Cuore and Mar Dorado. 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.

YODONO WORLD
AKIHIRO KAWAZOE 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Seiichi Umihara Finished fifth at Kanazawa last start when beaten seven lengths by Rocket Body and unwanted in the market, which was only a modest improvement on his previous last in a 3yo+ C2 behind Kitano Dia. He does have a track-and-distance win and Hattori Daichi has won on him before, but recent margins say he needs a clear lift to threaten this field. |

A SHIN QUASAR
SEIJI SUKITA 7YO CHESTNUT HORSE 57.0KG Worked home evenly when fifth behind Noel at Kanazawa last start, beaten four and a half lengths as an outside chance in the betting. His previous sixth was much flatter after being sent out an odds-on favourite, so trust is not absolute. Third-up with three wins at the distance and drawn to use his natural speed, he shapes as a sound place hope rather than a clear top pick. |

SPECIAL SUNDAY
Atsushi Ikeda 8YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG U.Miyauchi B. Closed the gap sharply last start when fifth behind Link Arms at Kanazawa, beaten just under two lengths after being right there but unable to finish it off. That was a clear step forward from his sixth in a 3yo+ C2 behind Nobutomo when he led into the lane and tired. With 11 career wins and two wins from eight at this track and distance, he has the right base to take beating. |

SMART ARION
YASUHIKO MUNETSUNA 6YO BAY HORSE 54.0KG Toru Okawa Settled miles back and made no impression when seventh behind Link Arms at Kanazawa, beaten over 11 lengths at long odds. The run prior was no better, finishing eighth behind Top Tarumae after conceding a big start. One placing from 14 starts at this track and distance offers only minor comfort, and he needs a major form reversal. |

BLUE TRAILER
MASAYUKI NAKAGAWA 4YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Started odds-on favourite but could only finish fourth behind Miss Katharine at Kanazawa, beaten four and a half lengths after racing right there and failing to finish off. She had also been favourite when third in a 3yo+ C2 behind Girls' Heroine, beaten five lengths. The Aoyagi partnership reads well, but she must convert market respect into a stronger finish. |
5 MASAYOSHI AOYAGI |

MAR DORADO
KOJI FUJITA 4YO BAY GELDING 57.0KG Hiroo Race Co. Ltd. Finished fifth in a 3yo+ C2 behind Girls' Heroine at Kanazawa, beaten eight and a half lengths after lacking a change of gears late. His previous fifth behind Yume Kanauken was similar, settling prominently before fading. A track-and-distance win keeps him in the discussion for improvement, but recent finishing strength has been lacking. |
6 KENSHIN UOZUMI |

SUPER NANY
AKIHIRO KAWAZOE 5YO CHESTNUT MARE 55.0KG West.Forest.Stable Co. Ltd. Kept finding after having work to do when third behind Miss Katharine at Kanazawa last start, beaten four lengths and again respected near the top of betting. That followed a solid second in a 3yo+ C2 behind T O Tornado, beaten half a length at generous odds. She is racing consistently, and another repeat of that recent form puts her right in the winning mix. |
7 MASAYA MATSUDO |
|
| 8 | 11x56 |
IL CUORE
HIROYUKI TAJIMA 8YO BAY GELDING 57.0KG Hidaka Breeders Union Co. Ltd. Caught the eye late when sixth behind Noel at Kanazawa last start, beaten just over five lengths after having plenty of ground to make up. His previous fifth behind Kitano Dia in a 3yo+ C2 was plain, but he is third-up now and has won three times from twelve starts in the past 12 months. If he builds on that latest finish, he is a genuine winning player. |

KUTSUWA FAMILY
SEIJI SUKITA 6YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Katsuya Haga Was fair to the line when fifth behind Miss Katharine at Kanazawa, beaten just under five lengths at big odds. Two back, he was never likely after settling well back, though he did make some late ground behind Kitano Dia. Taiga Kurihara has a useful record on him, but he needs the race to fall his way to turn a minor-money chance into more. |

HARMONY REGULUS
SHIGERU SATO 8YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Ran second last behind Rocket Body at Kanazawa and was beaten a long way despite being near the top of betting, which is a serious concern. His previous last behind Top Tarumae was also poor, beaten over 16 lengths after weakening badly. Five wins at the distance are noted, but his current form leaves him with plenty to repair. |
