Kanazawa

PIKAPIKA PIROKO (9) Finished 7th last start around here. Overlooking the last run but will be down in distance. Ibi Kazuya has been training plenty of winners recently. Expect to go close. PEDUNCLE ARCH (6) Subpar when 10th last run at the track. Looking for an improved run. Jockey Tatsuya Nakajima and trainer Katou Kazuhiro show promise as a duo. Strong hope. JUNE SURRENDER (2) Mediocre display when 9th last start at this track but will try to take advantage of the gate. Underrated. MEINER JULIAN (8) Tidy effort when 3rd last time at this venue and back to a rise in trip. Chance.
