Saga Race 4 - Race 4 - 1860
ULTRA NO HOSHI (2) finished fourth two runs back at Monbetsu then improved last time out to score by 5 lengths as public elect over 1400m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of another big run. MOON OF THE ACE (4) took advantage of the good draw and raced on the pace last start before tiring to finish fourth over 1860m at this track. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. OUT DRIVE (5) has switched yards since finishing 12th seven weeks ago over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Comes here with definite top-three claims. GOLD HIGHER (3) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is having his first run for a new yard. Was a winner when fresh last campaign at Kanazawa over 1500m and can figure in the finish.
