Saga Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
RECUERDO (5) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Kasamatsu two starts back then got the job done by 1.5 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Taku Kawashima scored on him last time and retains the ride. Likely to be in the finish again. TAGANO FLEMING (3) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. ANOTHER VITA (11) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1400m at this track when he was in the firing line all the way. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. RIKKA LAURA (2) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 900m at this track. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.

At the latest run 8th of 11 at this track on January 11 over 1300m, 9 len behind Excellen Winner carrying 54kg at $43. The race before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track on December 21 over 1300m, 4 len behind Ping Pang Pong carrying 54kg at $90.10. Nice draw and worth thought.

Second run back. First-up after six months eased back early on 6th of 11 at this track on January 10 over 900m, 5 len behind Tempest Heroine carrying 54kg at $28. Previously second-up 2nd of 10 at this track on June 8 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Bom Dia with 51kg at $3.60. Should progress from that first-up run.

Racing well recently. Last start favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track January 5 over 1400m defeating Raft with 56kg at $1.60. The race before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Kasamatsu on November 27 over 1400m, 3 len behind Insight with 57kg at $3.20. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.
