Saga Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
TWINKLE VITA (7) gets top billing after improving from a debut second over 900m to be beaten only half a length at this track last start, when she picked up well and also had TSUKIYONO NEGAI behind her. That gives her the strongest recent profile, with upside still likely at her third run. TSUKIYONO NEGAI (2) is the obvious danger on consistency, having placed in all three starts, though he has been rolled as an odds-on favourite at his past two and must convert those chances now. MITONO KISEKI (4) has also placed at both runs and his latest third, beaten two lengths, was his best piece of closing work so far, albeit off a 10-day turnaround. HAW WONDER (5) is more a place-based threat, with two placings from three tries around this distance and enough recent honesty to stay in the minor-money mix.

Had market respect at this track last start but gave very little in the run home, finishing seventh and beaten over 15 lengths by Moon Of The Gorous. The start prior was more encouraging, when third to Davay Speedy after leading and being run down late. The class drop and rider return help, but she has to rebound sharply to trouble the main chances.

Continues to hold his form, placing in all three starts at this track, and was third last start when beaten a length by Moon Of The Gorous after being run down late. He was also runner-up to Timbre Tesoro the start prior, though again as an odds-on favourite. The repeated defeats at short odds are the query, but his consistency, race fitness and inside draw keep him high among the winning chances.

Has gone the wrong way in two recent runs, finishing last at this track a fortnight ago and well beaten by 24 lengths after never getting into the race. She had also been beaten just over eight lengths behind Davay Speedy the start prior despite being close enough to strike. Past placings around this trip are noted, but current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Lightly raced colt building a sound platform, with thirds at both starts and a better closing effort last time when beaten two lengths by Davay Ho O at this track. On debut over 900m he was close enough but could not quicken, so the latest run was the more persuasive piece of form. The 10-day back-up is the small query, but he profiles as a genuine place chance with winning scope.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing third at this track, beaten six lengths by Kashino Hood Star after settling rearward. Her previous fourth behind Wonderful Ring was sound enough when beaten just under three lengths at long odds, and she has placed twice from three attempts around 1400m. Carrying 3kg more is a factor, but she is reliable enough for the minors.

Produced a better late effort when fourth to Moon Of The Gorous last start, beaten seven lengths after starting at long odds. That was still not close enough to make a strong case, and her previous ninth behind Davay Speedy was a long way short of the required level. With no placing from four attempts around 1400m, she has to improve on the bare form.

Went within half a length of winning at this track last start, picking up strongly behind Moon Of The Gorous and finishing ahead of Tsukiyono Negai. Her debut second behind Rinen Kalmia over 900m also showed enough professionalism, and she has now placed in both starts at this venue. Third-up, with the best recent rating profile in this field, she looks ready to break through.

Has been safely held at his past two starts, finishing sixth at this track last time and beaten over 12 lengths by Esken Sniper after making no impression from back in the field. The start prior was also plain when seventh to Kashino Hood Star at big odds. He has two placings around 1400m, but his current form leaves others with firmer claims.
