Saga Race 5 - Race 5 - 1300

SMART ROBERT (5) gets top billing after missing by a nose at Saga last start, where she finished strongly and showed a sharper response than in her previous well-beaten run. The maiden record keeps the case qualified, but her recent placing profile and distance rating give her the most immediate winning claim. QUEEN SAGA (9) is the clear danger after resuming with an eight-length win as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, backed by three wins from five starts at Saga. MELODY SEIRA (2) was run down late when second here and has the track-and-distance record to stay involved, though her prior run was plain. SECRET ISLA (6) comes through a fourth here after being prominent in betting and gets class-drop context from a 3yo+ ALLOW run at Fukushima, leaving him as a realistic place-to-win improver if he finishes off more cleanly.

Comments

Bounced back to run third at Saga last start, beaten four lengths after looking a winning hope before being claimed late. That was a fair response to his ninth here the run prior when sent out favourite and beaten over 18 lengths after giving little late. Drawn to make use of his early speed and Shinsuke Ishikawa has won on him before, but the Smart Robert line says he is more a place hope than a primary win chance.

Went close at Saga last start, finishing second to Habsburg and beaten a length and a half after being well clear before getting caught late. The sharp improvement from an eighth here at long odds two runs back is encouraging, and she has one win and three placings from ten attempts at this track and distance. Provided she repeats the latest effort, she has a genuine winning chance.

Comments

Could only finish seventh over 900m at Saga last start, beaten just over nine lengths after travelling into the race but lacking a change of gears late. Her previous second to Maria Bouquet at the same trip was more competitive, so the ability to run into a minor placing is there. The rise to 1300m is the main reservation, leaving her with place claims rather than a strong winning profile.

Comments

Improved into third over 900m at Saga last start, but was still beaten eight lengths at long odds, so the placing reads better on paper than in substance. He had been second last and beaten over 15 lengths in a 3yo+ COND here the start before. A track-and-distance win is a useful reminder of past form, but he has to lift sharply to worry the main hopes.

Produced the key recent run when second at Saga last start, beaten a nose by Athena Parthenos after finishing strongly through the line. That was a decisive turnaround from her previous seventh when beaten over 12 lengths after settling too far back at big odds. The winless record is the only real query, but seven placings from 19 starts show she is regularly competitive and this sets up as her best chance to break through.

Ran fourth at Saga last start, beaten six lengths by Iason Tesoro after being near the top of betting but failing to finish the race off. The run prior was a midfield-style 13th in a 3yo+ ALLOW at Fukushima, also beaten six lengths, so the class context gives him some support. He must find a stronger final section, but the setup is enough to keep him in the minor-money discussion.

Returns from a five-month break after a flat ninth at Saga, beaten just under eight lengths in COND grade at very long odds after conceding a big start. She had also been safely held when seventh in 3yo COND company the run before. One win from three at this track and distance and a solid rider record offer some hope, but her recent race form leaves plenty to make up.

Caught the eye late when fifth at Saga last start, beaten just under six lengths by Mozuno Shiawase after having plenty of ground to make up. That followed a neat win here over Spes Liga, where she picked up sharply and arrived in time. With two wins and a placing from four starts at this track and distance, she is well suited and profiles as a genuine each-way player.

Resumed in dominant style at Saga, beating Variation by eight lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite after quickening away in the straight. Her prior fifth in a 3yo COND over 1800m was sound enough, and the return to a sharper trip clearly suited. With three wins and a placing from five starts at both career and track level, she brings a strong winning case again.

Finished seventh at Saga last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Mozuno Shiawase after being unwanted in the market and only fair through the line. His previous ninth was even weaker, beaten over 14 lengths after getting too far out of his ground. With no wins from 69 starts and only three placings from 26 at this track and distance, it is hard to build a strong case.

Has finished fifth at both runs this campaign, most recently beaten just over six lengths by Iason Tesoro after settling rearward. The previous fifth was better, beaten three and a half lengths when near the top of betting, but he was still only fair late. His overall record is respectable and he has won at this track and distance, yet he must produce more punch to threaten.

Comments

Was safely held when eighth at Saga last start, beaten just under nine lengths after giving herself too much to do and never looking a winning hope. The run prior was better when fourth and beaten three lengths as favourite, so the ability has not completely disappeared. Her track-and-distance record is strong, but recent form says she must rebound to be more than a fringe player.
