Saga Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
AMERICAN ROMAN (11) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 6 lengths when sixth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. HAI VAN (8) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 11 lengths when sixth over 1300m at this track two weeks ago. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. MASANO HAYABUSA (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 14 lengths into seventh. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. RICHLY ECHO (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 19 lengths into ninth. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
