Saga Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400

ULTRA NO HOSHI (6) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past five starts. Last time out he scored over 1400m at this track. Hard to knock and should go well again. T M TALISMA (4) has switched yards since finishing 11th six weeks ago over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Capable of playing a major role in this easier assignment. LORD MIDNIGHT (1) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Key runner. DIGITAL SCION (5) went forward from the low draw last time before fading to finish fourth over 1300m at this track. Among the chances.
