Saga Race 9 - Race 9 - 1300
KASHINO ASAP (5) is a five-time winner who has been at the top of his game of late, beaten a nose into second last time out over 1400m at this track. Races well here and is the testing material. DON APOLLON (10) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1400m, beaten a neck. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Tricky draw but should still be in the finish. YUCCA RAN (6) did a great job to score by a nose over today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Finds another suitable race and can play a major role again. ICHINO KOMACHI (9) ran below expectations last start, finishing eighth and beaten 6 lengths at this track over 1400m. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.

Recent form sound. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at this track on January 11 over 1400m, nose behind Out Raising with 56kg at $2.50. Before that favourite; came from midfield and won by a nose at this track December 20 over 1400m defeating Smart Robert carrying 55kg at $5. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again.
