Saga Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
BENDYUGA (9) was an impressive winner last time over 1300m at this track, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 3 lengths. Yet to miss the placings at this circuit, including three wins. Leading contender. SPECIAL HOLIDAY (6) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Scored last time out over 1400m at this track, making it three wins on the trot. Races well here and looks a definite danger again. CESA SUNRISE (10) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by one length last time out over 1300m at this track. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is one of the contenders. ANOTHER VITA (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Finds another suitable race and can maintain winning form.
