KANAZAWA   16 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo, primarily from Bell Tree and T O Tornado. BELL TREE (3) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on December 15, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 900m at this track. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. SHINY'S RUN (9) is back from a spell of 11 weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at this track. Likely to take beating. T O TORNADO (6) is back from a four months spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1500m at this track at the start of last prep. Will be hard to stop. BLUE MERRY (8) resumes in a similar race to her last run three months ago when third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
