Saga Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
DANTSU DORE (3) has been going well this preparation, scoring last start over 1750m at this track to make it four wins from five runs this time in. Has a strong association with Manato Hida who has been in the saddle for her last four wins. Should be hard to stop. T M RUN WAY (5) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a 12th at Kyoto Dirt two starts back then landed the prize by 1.5 lengths as favourite last time out after being prominent at the corner over 1300m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MEINER WARRIOR (4) returned from a spell last start and finished second over this distance at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in eight starts, including seven wins and one placing. One of the leading contenders. PATRIOT GAME (6) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Leo Nakayama stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 12th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on January 17 over 1400m, 9 len behind Estrella De Belen carrying 58.0kg at $144.30. Second run from a spell favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track February 8 over 1300m defeating Excellen Arthur carrying 56kg at $1.30. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1400m.
