Saga Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
ESPLANADE (7) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a head away in second over 1400m at this track when she was always up in the leading division. Well placed and can find winning ways. RAINBOW CAROL (5) broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Winning rider Takuto Demizu sticks and she looks sure to be in the mix. TYUS TESORO (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1300m at this track. Should be prominent in the run again despite the awkward gate. One of the main contenders. LOVE KO (8) raced below her best last time when ninth over 1300m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track March 6 over 1400m defeating Sammaru Somnia with 54kg at $2.80. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 11 at this track on February 21 over 1400m, 6 len behind Bailey Tesoro with 54kg at $8.10. Another win cannot be ruled out.
