Saga Race 1 - Race 1 - 1300
KISEKINO KISEKI (2) is a cautious top pick in a modest 2yo COND over 1300m, with the 51kg and class drop helping offset a plain recent run from the back. MANA KUKINI (6) has been safely held in two starts, but his latest sixth behind Star Of Charge had more substance than most here and he is better placed third-up with 52kg. DAIMEI SAGA (4) was backed on debut and made some late impression from well back, so he has upside if the extra ground suits. MANA LA HIKI (7) brings Mombetsu form that needs lifting, while WIN FLAG (8) must rebound sharply from a heavy debut defeat.

Finished last at Saga last start, beaten a long way behind Wrapping Film on fast ground after again starting at long odds. The run prior was no better, finishing last behind Star Of Charge after settling miles back and failing to improve. She is unplaced from three starts at this track and distance, so even with a class drop she needs a major lift to trouble these.

Settled a long way back and made no impact when seventh at Saga last start, with Wrapping Film beating her comfortably. She had also been second last behind Star Of Charge the run prior and Mana Kukini had her measure in that same form line. The 51kg and class drop are positives, but she needs the tempo to help her finish better from the rear.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a debut that offered little, finishing last in a 2yo NEWCOMER at Kokura and never getting into the race after conceding a huge start. He was big odds there and beaten out of sight behind Toshimichi, so improvement is clearly required. The class drop keeps him in the place mix, provided he can settle closer and show more race sense.

Had market respect on debut at Saga, starting near the top of betting, but finished last over 900m behind Proteus Tesoro after settling well back. The positive was that he did make some impression late, even if never a winning hope. Second-up now and drawn middle with Shinsuke Ishikawa aboard, he can improve sharply, though the jump to 1300m remains the key test.

Back after a two-month break following a debut seventh at Saga over 900m, beaten over 12 lengths behind Aoi Ito. He settled midfield but was still well back turning, so the run was plain without being hopeless for a first attempt. The class drop gives him some room to improve, although the rise to 1300m asks a new question and keeps him more in the minor-money bracket.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing sixth at Saga over 1300m, beaten over 12 lengths by Star Of Charge but not dropping right out when the task was beyond him. His debut over 900m had been plain, yet he now gets to his third run and carries just 52kg. The market ignored him last time, so he is no good thing, but this weaker profile gives him a strong opening.

Back after a two-month break and arrives off two poor Mombetsu runs, most recently finishing last over 1000m behind Mister Kiretto after settling rearward and making no late impression. He was unwanted in the market there and had been well beaten by Airosa the start before. The class drop helps, but the rise to 1300m demands a much stronger finish.

Finished last on debut at Saga over 900m, beaten out of sight by Yoka Musume after being well back around the turn and failing to improve. She was unwanted in the market and has only that plain run to work from. Second-up improvement is possible, but the step to 1300m is another query and she must show far more under race pressure.
