Saga Race 1 - Race 1 - 1300
SPHENE TESORO (5) has been in the money two times including last start on March 15 when second over 1300m at this track. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this course. Among the top chances. NISHINO HIMMEL (3) has switched yards since finishing 15th six weeks ago over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Sure to be primed for this and a bold showing is anticipated. MASANO HAYABUSA (9) is a four-start maiden who finished 15th at his most recent outing over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt after he gave away a big start. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. RICHLY ECHO (1) has been safely held at her last two runs, the latest when 14th over 1600m at Tokyo. Does enjoy some weight relief this time. Easier assignment this time so don't underestimate.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track on March 15 over 1300m, 3 len behind Ytterbium with 54kg at $1.50. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at this track on February 28 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Yui Avenir with 54kg at $1.60. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
