Saga Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400

KIKUNO ARDENT (2) found one marginally better last start at this track and trip after being prominent throughout. Has his share of talent and was a winner three back. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SHONAN DOUGLAS (3) took advantage of the good draw and landed on the pace last start before tiring to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over this course and distance. Well placed and expected to feature. HAKUAI WINDSOR (7) has missed the frame at his last couple of outings but had been racing well with a string of top-three finishes prior so can show more. ANIMAL KIRISHIMA (6) is capable of better than we have seen of late. No surprise to see him in contention.
