Kanazawa

FRANCORCHAMPS (7) Fresh from a spell. In the money when 3rd last run here. Jockey Tatsuya Nakajima is in top form for this stable. Among better hopes. HAKUSAN HANABI (2) Placed 2nd last run at this track and proven runner at this distance. Has early speed and positions nicely. Going well this preparation. Well placed and has solid claims. AQUILONE (4) Handy enough when winning by 1 1/2L last time around here and proven performer at this trip in the past. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 starts. Goes very close. SERAPHINITE (1) Ran 4th last run here but has minimal work to do from the alley. Jockey Taiga Kurihara and trainer Kouji Fujita should be taken seriously together. One to watch and an each way chance.
