Saga Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
O K ANGEL (10) brings the strongest recent profile, having followed a dominant 3yo+ C1 win by nine lengths at this track with a half-length second over 1800m after firm market confidence. She is unbeaten in two tries around 1400m and her record at this venue gives her the clearest winning case. FRANCINA TESORO (9) is the main danger after missing by only half a length as favourite, and her five wins from twelve starts at this track and distance make her a very reliable rival. NOBLE BEACH (4) arrives in winning form after finishing over the top to score by a length, with his track-and-distance record and retained winning rider keeping him right in contention. KITO WIN (5) was doing his best work late last start and had earlier been beaten only a neck in 3yo+ A2 grade, so he has the profile to run into the finish third-up.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing fourth at this track, beaten just under five lengths by Caldwell when settling handy at long odds. The run prior at Ohi was a heavy defeat in 3yo+ B3 company, so the recent form still leaves him with ground to make up. A kinder class set-up and a 1400m win on the record help, but he must lift sharply to trouble the main hopes.

Worked home from well back when ninth at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths by B B Belleza after never looking likely. His third here two back behind Lux Mendes was better, and he has placed twice from four starts at this track and distance. The win strike-rate remains a query, but he has enough staying-on form to be considered for the minors.

Has finished fifth at her past two starts at this track, most recently beaten four and a half lengths by Felsite after failing to finish it off. Her best case is built around proven track-and-distance form, with three wins and nine placings from 30 attempts, rather than current momentum. The winning rider returning is a plus, but she profiles more as a place hope than a winning threat.

Built neatly through this campaign before winning at this track last start, coming over the top to beat Held by a length in an open market. That followed a solid third in 3yo+ B3 grade behind Dead Vlei, so the form has substance. Five wins at this track and distance, plus a good record with Hiroki Yamashita, make him a genuine winning player again.

Caught the eye late when fifth to B B Belleza last start, beaten three and a half lengths after having plenty to do. His fresh run was stronger again, charging home at big odds to miss by a neck in 3yo+ A2 grade behind Nishino Lynda. Third-up now, with solid 1400m credentials and the winning rider back, he shapes as a practical each-way chance.

Produced his best recent finish when fourth to B B Belleza at this track, beaten three lengths after looking unlikely before closing strongly. The concern is that he was huge odds there and had been safely held by Lux Mendes two back when unwanted in betting. A class drop is some help, but his unplaced record at this track and distance keeps him on the fringe.

Has been last in both recent runs at this track, most recently beaten over 10 lengths by B B Belleza after sitting close enough to do better. The start prior was a sharper defeat, beaten over 18 lengths behind Lux Mendes after dropping out. Class relief is noted, but he is unplaced in five track-and-distance attempts and others make far stronger appeal.

Improved into second behind Felsite at this track last start, beaten four lengths after working home evenly at long odds. That was a clear step back toward competitive form after an eighth behind Francina Tesoro over 900m the run prior. He has placed five times from ten starts at this distance, which supports another minor-money chance rather than a strong win case.

Went under narrowly as favourite last start, finishing second to B B Belleza at this track and beaten half a length after picking up well. She had won her previous start by two lengths from Takeno Okan as an odds-on favourite, and her record around this track and distance is outstanding. The beaten-favourite tag is the only blemish, but she remains a serious winning chance.

Finished strongly when second to Dead Vlei over 1800m at this track last start, beaten half a length after being heavily backed into very short odds-on territory. Before that she destroyed a 3yo+ C1 field by nine lengths, beating Astaequus with plenty in hand. Two wins from two starts at this distance and a perfect local placing record make her the horse to beat.

Stuck on for fourth behind Felsite at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths after being run down late at outsider odds. Her sixth in 3yo+ B3 company two back behind Dead Vlei was also only fair, despite working home from well back. Track-and-distance credentials are sound, but recent form says she will have to find more to upset these.
