Saga Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
METROPOLITANA (9) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when second. Has a strong record here, including three wins. Expected to be in the finish. KITO WIN (10) improved last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1300m at this track. Shoma Kanayama scored on him last time and retains the mount. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. EDEN TESORO (2) last time out finished third at the end of 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. UNA (1) finished second two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Open to improvement and should be about the money.

Last start second last of 11 at this track on June 8 over 1400m, 16 len behind Beethoven carrying 54kg at $40.60. The race before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 10 at this track on May 24 over 1300m, 2.5 len behind Hakuai Windsor carrying 54kg at $5.30. Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.

The run before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track May 24 over 1400m defeating Peaceful Time carrying 54kg at $1.01. Genuine contender.
