Saga Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
ALL STEAL (4) stuck on well to finish second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten half a length as favourite. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be underestimated. SPIRIT WORLD (8) missed the frame last time when fourth at this track. That followed a run of two wins on end. Expecting significant improvement. FIRST RICKEY (7) is a distance specialist who progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ROSSO (1) was beaten 5 lengths into eighth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. No surprise to see him in the mix.
