Saga Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
JUN ODR (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at Sonoda. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. KASHINO FREUDE (4) strode forward early from her wide draw over 1400m at this track last time, leading for much of the way before being claimed in the straight to finish third. Well-placed and could take running down. L'AMOUR DU VENT (3) resumes in a similar race to his last run four months ago when third. Worth plenty of thought. HIMAWARIKUN (9) has not appeared since he finished 11th over 1400m at Kochi on March 11. Definite top-three chance in this suitable race.
