Saga Race 8 - Race 8 - 1300
FRANCINA TESORO (9) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at her last nine starts, most recently finishing second over 1400m at this track. Sure to measure up again. MANA MAKANA (1) was successful last start over 1400m at this track, getting home by 1.5 lengths to make it four wins on the trot. Finds a tougher race but she has the talent to test this line-up. SUN SALANG (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1400m after being in the firing line on the corner. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. TRICORN (8) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Hard to leave out.
