Saga Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

YUI AVENIR (1) gets the nod after a sharp last-start win at Saga, charging home to beat Kanaderu Air by a length and a half after a heavy defeat in 3yo+ COND company the run prior. His Saga 1400m record is the strongest profile in the race and he still looks the horse with most upside. ATHENA PARTHENOS (10) is the danger after holding on by a nose here last time and she stays on 51kg, though the winning margin leaves less room for error. SHAKUIWANA (7) was beaten only half a length by Port Tauranga and has the right recent form to be a serious threat if he repeats that effort. MIYA FIGHTER (5) has put two placings together, including a 3yo+ C1 third two back, and looks more a solid place-and-value chance than the top pick.

Bounced back strongly at Saga three weeks ago, charging home from a rearward position to beat Kanaderu Air by a length and a half at generous odds. That win was a major turnaround after he finished a distant last behind Havana Rose in 3yo+ COND grade, but his overall record is reliable, with two wins and four places from eight starts at this track and distance. He profiles as a strong winning chance if he holds that latest form.

Recent efforts have been well below the mark, finishing eighth at Saga last start when beaten over 13 lengths by Roberta Impact after never looking likely. That followed a distant last behind North Gloria, also here, when at long odds. She has placed often at this track and distance, but the market has been cold and the current form leaves her with a fair task.

Has offered little in recent starts, finishing last at Saga two weeks ago when beaten over 14 lengths by Only Love after conceding a big start. The run prior over 900m was better, beaten five and a half lengths behind Maria Bouquet after making some late ground, but he is still unplaced from two runs at Saga. He needs a clear form lift to trouble these.

Worked into the placings at Saga two weeks ago, finishing third behind Port Tauranga and beaten two and a half lengths after settling back. That followed a fourth behind Shizuri when beaten just under six lengths at long odds. She does have a Saga 1400m win to her name and meets Shakuiwana again after losing to him recently, so place claims look more realistic than a winning push.

Returns from a five-week freshening after another honest placing at Saga, running third behind Shizuri when beaten five and a half lengths and respected near the top of betting. She had earlier worked home well for third in 3yo+ C1 company behind Mozu Orage, beaten three and a half lengths. With one win and six places from eleven starts at 1400m, she is a genuine each-way contender.

Recent 900m runs have not been encouraging, with an eighth behind G T Noble at Saga after settling back and only battling home, followed by a last behind Maria Bouquet when unable to make ground. She does return to a distance at which she has prior winning form, but no wins and three places from 22 starts at this track and trip underline the task. Others bring stronger claims.

Went within half a length of winning at Saga two weeks ago, finishing second to Port Tauranga after being nabbed right on the line at generous odds. That was a sharp improvement on his seventh behind Tortina, where he gave away too much ground and never threatened. Toru Takeyoshi knows him well, and a repeat of that latest effort puts him right in the winning argument.

Beaten over 13 lengths by Roberta Impact at Saga last start after settling well back and failing to make an impression. His previous fifth behind North Gloria was also only fair, beaten just over seven lengths at generous odds. The leading track jockey goes on and he has placed in both starts with this rider, but the maiden record after 23 starts keeps the win case thin.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing eighth in consecutive 3yo+ C1 races at Saga, beaten over 11 lengths by Cauncall and over 10 lengths by Hurry Flag. The market wanted little to do with her in both. Her record with Tsubasa Kamo is a genuine support, with three wins and eight places from 24 rides, but she needs to return sharper to convert that into a winning threat.

Made it count at Saga three weeks ago, holding a narrow lead and finding enough to beat Smart Robert by a nose while carrying 51kg. That was a good response to a sixth behind Hosumani En, where she worked home fairly but was never a threat. She remains on 51kg and has one win and six places from 15 starts at this track and distance, making her a strong chance despite the narrow margin last time.

Recent form has gone the wrong way, finishing second last behind Only Love at Saga when beaten over 14 lengths at big odds and unable to make headway. The start prior over 900m was better only in margin, with a ninth behind Maria Bouquet after working home fairly without threatening. He has the broader career wins, but current race form says he needs a sizeable turnaround.

Ran fifth behind Only Love at Saga two weeks ago, beaten seven lengths at big odds and only fair through the line. That was an improvement on his second-last behind Tortina, where he was beaten over 10 lengths after coming under pressure late. He was also beaten by Shakuiwana recently and is unplaced from 19 starts in the past 12 months, so the place case is limited.
