Saga Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
ZEPHYR BAROWS (5) scored at this track last time out with half a length in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. G T JIN (7) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second, beaten a head, over 1400m at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. SAMMARU WARRIOR (3) took advantage of the good draw last start and led for much of the way before finishing third, beaten half a length, over 1400m at this track. Solid run last start and is among the chances again. BATTICUORE (6) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 15 lengths, at this track over 1300m. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run won by 0.5 len at this track January 29 over 1400m defeating Hustle Aniki carrying 56kg at $3.10. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track on January 10 over 900m, 1.5 len behind Tempest Heroine carrying 56kg at $4.70. Big chance to go back-to-back.

Form hard to fault. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on January 31 over 1400m, head behind Meisho Himegoze with 56kg at $2.80. Before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track January 10 over 1400m defeating Another Vita with 56kg at $1.20. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
