KANAZAWA   15 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Buonasera probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. BUONASERA (5) has not appeared since he finished second over 1400m at this track on December 15. Capable of playing a major role. DOUBLE SILVER (3) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on December 15 when third, beaten 5 lengths. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal while fresh. INTARSIA (6) resumes in a similar race to his last run 11 weeks ago when second, beaten 6 lengths. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. SERAPHINITE (4) was last at the races when he finished third over 1700m at this track on December 27. One to consider.
