Saga Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
AKRASIA (5) was successful last start over 1400m at this track, getting home by a head to make it four wins in a row. Major player. OICHO (10) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on February 23 over 1300m when he scored by 2.5 lengths. Winning rider Shinsuke Ishikawa retains the mount. Commands respect. VILLAGE SINGLE (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. SHOW YUSHI (11) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth. Look for an improved run here.

Useful type. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 10 at this track on March 9 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Akrasia carrying 56kg at $10.30. The race before that 3rd of 11 at this track on February 23 over 1300m, 4 len behind Oicho carrying 56kg at $7.30. An inside alley is a big advantage. Winning prospects.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Last start won by 2.5 len at this track February 23 over 1300m defeating Trionfale with 56kg at $2.90. The run before that won by 0.5 len at this track February 8 over 1400m defeating Show Yushi carrying 56kg at $8. Genuine contender.
