Saga Race 4 - Race 4 - 1300
COSMO PENTAS (10) sets the standard after finishing second at this track last start, beaten a length by Loving Champ after being sent out an odds-on favourite. She did not quite finish the job, but that was still the clearest recent piece of form in this field and her single run at this venue produced a placing. COSMO TUXEDO (2) is the main danger, with his Kochi second to Ravinia Park two back stronger than his latest fifth behind Sunrise Judge. He has placed at around this distance and now joins a new yard with a leading rider aboard. DAIMEI HAMADA (9) has to be forgiven for a plain last at this track, but his previous fifth behind Explode was sound enough to keep him in the winning mix if he rebounds. MIKKI SWAN (1) has been fourth at her past two and draws to get every chance, though her record at around 1300m says she is more convincing as a minor hope than a dominant winning threat.

Finished fourth at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Lily Crystal after sitting close enough but failing to go on with it. She had also run fourth in a 3yo+ COND here prior, though that margin was over 13 lengths after settling rearward. The class drop helps and barrier one is useful, but six previous starts around 1300m without a placing keeps her more in the minor-money mix.

Was fifth in a 3yo COND at Kochi last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Sunrise Judge after giving the leader a start and failing to launch. The run prior reads better, when second as favourite to Ravinia Park and beaten two and a half lengths after being run down late. Now with Masanori Mashima and partnered by Isao Yamaguchi, he has the right profile to push hard for this.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a fifth at this track, beaten over 14 lengths by Willy's Rock when conceding a big start. His previous eighth behind Sei Blue Eye was also well held, and he was among the outsiders in betting on both occasions. A minor placing at this track and distance is some background support, but he has plenty to find first-up.

Worked home fairly when fifth at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Lily Crystal after being sent around among the outsiders. Her better reference is the previous second to Lightning Run, where she was strong through the closing stages despite a six-length margin. Weight relief and three placings from ten starts at this track and distance make her a genuine place chance.

Was near the top of an open market last start but finished seventh at this track, beaten just over seven lengths by Let Feel Man after leading narrowly into the lane and tiring out of it. His first-up sixth behind Hades Tesoro was far worse, with the margin out of sight. Third-up and back in suitable class gives him some chance to improve, but the winning edge is still unproven.

Has been safely held in both runs this campaign, most recently finishing second last at this track and beaten nine and a half lengths by Let Feel Man after settling rearward. The prior run behind Hades Tesoro was much worse, when she was never competitive and dropped out. Class relief and race fitness are positives on paper, but recent form leaves her with a sizeable task.

Produced a more respectable sixth at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths by Let Feel Man after sticking on without ever looking a winning hope. That followed a seven-length fifth behind Urban King at big odds. The winning rider returning is a plus, but she remains winless from 29 starts and others bring stronger recent claims.

Led narrowly into the lane last start but weakened into ninth at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by Lily Sunrise at big odds. Two back she was tailed off behind Hades Tesoro, so there is no hidden excuse in the recent form. Jun Tanaka has placed on her before, but she has to produce a much stronger finish to trouble the main chances.

Failed badly at this track last start, finishing last and beaten over 12 lengths by Let Feel Man after settling prominently and giving nothing late. The market had him near the top of betting, so that effort was disappointing, but his previous fifth behind Explode was much more competitive after working home evenly. Class relief gives him the chance to bounce straight back.

Went close at this track last start, finishing second to Loving Champ and beaten a length after being sent out an odds-on favourite. She was run down late, so the beaten-favourite tag is a small query, but the performance still stands out strongly against these. Her only start at this venue produced that placing, and the recent rating profile makes her the one they have to beat.
