Saga Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
SODERMANLAND (2) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on May 4 over 1300m when he scored by 1.5 lengths. Winning rider Isao Yamaguchi retains the mount. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SAND FALCON (11) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out finishing second over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Nicely placed to return to winning form. A SHIN CARROTS (10) missed the frame last start over 1580m at Kasamatsu, finishing seventh. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. PALM BEACH (8) last raced on May 3 when fourth at this track over 1400m after being prominent until the final stages. Can fill a top-three spot.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at this track May 4 over 1300m defeating Recuerdo carrying 56kg at $1.40. The start before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len at this track April 12 over 1750m defeating Miss Lemon with 56kg at $1.50. An inside draw is a big advantage. Winning prospects.
