Saga Race 5 - Race 5 - 1300
WITH PRIDE (10) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1750m. Rewarded favourite backers last time out and can continue the winning run. HURRY FLAG (9) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 1300m at this track. Can cross and take up a prominent position. Shoma Kanayama who has scored on her three times retains the mount. Should be in the finish. SAYONO FUJI (6) is backing up nine days after finishing second over 1400m at this track. Nice run last time and is a real danger. SPECIAL HOLIDAY (7) improved last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at this track on May 23 over 1300m, 6 len behind Akdeniz with 56kg at $5.30. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at this track on May 4 over 1300m, 4.5 len behind Sodermanland carrying 56kg at $5.40. Can do a lot better than that last run.
