Saga Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
MRS JONES (9) sets the standard after putting seven lengths on her rivals at Saga last start, and the way she extended suggests she can cope with this C2 assignment despite having to come from off the pace. COSMO ROMA (7) is the natural danger, coming off a narrow odds-on win here and likely to control or share the speed, which gives him a genuine tactical edge. B GIRL (2) is the seasoned, reliable option, with excellent Saga 1400m credentials and recent winning form. FUKURAI KIRISHIMA (3) maps forward and has been close enough at her past two to hold a place claim. CAPTAIN REGALO (8) is the wildcard: recent longer-distance form is poor, but his track-and-trip record demands respect.

Back after two months on the sidelines following a fifth in 3yo+ C1 grade at Saga, where she was beaten just under six lengths by G T Jin at generous odds. The start prior was better, finishing second to Cauncall after tracking the speed and working home evenly, though she was among the outsiders there as well. The light weight helps, but the modest overall record and distance query leave her needing a clear lift.

Kept her form ticking over with a third at Saga last start, beaten two lengths by Mukoritta after tracking the speed and working home evenly. She had beaten Meisho Hayase here the run prior, and her four wins plus five placings from 14 starts at this track and distance are a strong foundation. The veteran still has enough current form to press the main chances.

Worked home evenly for third at Saga last start, beaten just over two lengths by Kairi Queen when near the top of an open market. Two back she was fourth to Nishino Ikki Sasu, beaten just under three lengths, so her recent efforts have been consistent without being dominant. With one win and six placings from 19 at this track and distance, she profiles as a sound minor-money chance.

Had many lengths to make up when fourth to Kairi Queen at Saga last start, and although beaten just over nine lengths, she did keep working at long odds. Her previous second to Shinzen Marunosuke was more competitive, beaten two lengths in an open market. The issue is the win column: no wins from 21 starts, despite repeated placings, keeps the winning case difficult.

Latest run was a clear setback, finishing ninth at Saga and beaten over 16 lengths by Ikeno Asachan after settling miles back and making no impression. The counterpoint is strong enough to note: she led and beat Esplanade by two lengths here the start prior at big odds. A three-time track-and-distance winner, she can rebound into the placings if she recaptures that earlier pattern.

Has been well held at her past two, most recently seventh to Ikeno Asachan at Saga when beaten over 13 lengths after giving away a big start. Two back she was again seventh in 3yo+ C1 grade behind Mozu Orage, beaten six and a half lengths and unwanted in the market. A prior track-and-distance win is some consolation, but current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Made it three wins from nine starts when scoring by half a length over Move The Crowd at Saga, justifying short odds-on favouritism after looming and fighting on strongly. He had also placed in 3yo COND grade two back behind Herakles Tesoro, so the form line is holding together. Likely to be prominent again, and that tactical speed makes him a major player.

Comes back to a more suitable distance after two poor runs over longer trips, finishing second last over 1750m and beaten over 20 lengths by Citrine Tesoro last start. The run prior over 1860m was also plain, but his three wins and two placings from five at this track and distance are compelling. He needs to turn his form around, yet this set-up gives him a place platform.

Produced the standout recent performance when winning by seven lengths at Saga, extending away from Grace Sunrise as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. That was a sharp turnaround from her Fukushima 3yo Maiden run over 2000m, where she was eighth and beaten three lengths after lacking the dash to compete. Back here with a win from her only Saga start, she is the runner to beat.

Was never a winning factor when eighth to Ikeno Asachan at Saga last start, beaten over 14 lengths at long odds despite working home fairly from well back. Her previous run was weaker again, finishing last behind Mozu Orage in 3yo+ C1 grade and beaten over 15 lengths after conceding a huge start. One win from 23 at this track and distance is not enough to offset the recent form.

Was weak through the line when second last at Saga last start, well beaten by 20 lengths behind Ikeno Asachan at long odds. The start prior was no better, finishing second last over 1860m and beaten out of sight by Sunrise Arthur after settling rearward. Still a maiden after 21 starts and unplaced in two runs at Saga, he has a substantial task from the outside barrier.
