Saga Race 1 - Race 1 - 1300
RAIFUKU (5) showed early speed from an outside draw when resuming last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third over 1400m at this track. Fitter for that and is in the right race so may prove hard to beat. DANON POSEIDON (1) was a winner three back and was good again last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Major player from the inside draw. NIMMARI (6) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start at this track and trip. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing. GANDIVA (2) ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2.25 lengths. Could fill a top-three spot.

Second-up. First-up after seven months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at this track on March 8 over 1400m, 30 len behind Archie Tesoro carrying 54kg at $3.20. Previously second-up 14th of 18 at Kyoto on May 10 over 1400m, 12 len behind Queen's Day with 55.0kg at $209.80. Improver with winning prospects.
