Saga Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
KRAKEN (3) Was strong to the line when winning by 4L last run around here. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. In the mix. TAKAYOSHI (9) Blitzed its rivals when winning by 6L last time at the track and promising career start. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. Gets a chance to win. PROTEUS TESORO (7) Ran away with a win by a margin of a distance last start at this venue and was on debut last time. Gains the services of jockey Isao Yamaguchi. Expect to go close. AARTI (12) Ran 2nd last run at this venue. Worth strong consideration.

At the latest run ran on from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on August 16 over 1300m, 6 len behind Takayoshi carrying 54kg at $25.20. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at this track on July 20 over 1300m defeating Daimei Sanshi with 55kg at $5.10. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.
