Saga Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
KRAKEN (2) sets the standard after a strong rebound at this track, finishing third to Miyano Goodly and beaten only a length after starting at long odds. His overall profile is the most reliable of the main chances, with a win and two placings from four starts at this venue and proven form around 1400m. ESKEN SNIPER (9) is the immediate danger, having finished strongly to beat Wrapping Film by a neck at this track last start, though he was safely held behind KASHINO HOOD STAR the run prior. KASHINO HOOD STAR (3) has to be forgiven for an eighth last time, but his two-length win over STAR OF CHARGE two back keeps him firmly in play, especially with the winning rider back aboard. BELLAGIO HAPPINESS (7) resumes from a two-month break after a plain Mombetsu run, yet her earlier second and one win from three starts give her a realistic place-to-win profile if she returns closer to that level.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing third at Mombetsu over 1000m, beaten four lengths when near the top of betting. She travelled well, loomed and fought on, but was never a real threat to Davay Crystal. A prior fourth as a well-supported favourite underlines her consistency, with seven placings from nine starts, though the first try around 1400m asks more of her winning credentials.

Went close at this track last start, running third to Miyano Goodly and beaten a length after being sent around at long odds. He worked home evenly there and has now built one win and two placings from four runs at this venue, including a win and placing around 1400m. The second-last effort two back is the blemish, but his latest run gives him the strongest platform to win this.

Failed to fire when eighth behind Miyano Goodly last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after settling just off the lead. The run prior is the key reference, as he beat Star Of Charge by two lengths at this track and has one win and three placings from six starts here. Having lost to Kraken more recently is a fair mark against him, but his best local form is strong enough to be a winning factor.

Returns from a three-month break after ending the last campaign with a 16th in Open company at Kokura, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. Her previous third in a Mdn had some merit, but she was still beaten six lengths and lacked the turn of foot to threaten. With no win from three starts and 1400m still untried, she has to find a sharper level fresh.

Has been well beaten in both recent runs at this track, finishing fifth behind Rikea Rumba last start but beaten over 18 lengths after never threatening. He was also ninth to Breeze Hope two back, beaten over 17 lengths at long odds. A prior local win gives him some background credit, yet the current form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Was second last behind Miyano Goodly at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds after coming under pressure late. Two back, she loomed up but did not go on with it when fifth to Kashino Hood Star, beaten just over seven lengths. Three placings at this venue show some capacity, but her recent finishing effort has to improve markedly.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing second last at Mombetsu, beaten over 18 lengths at big odds when she was never in the race. Her previous second behind Labyrinth Tiara was much better, beaten four lengths after only being run down late. With one win and one placing from three starts, there is enough early substance to give her a place chance if she rebounds.

Dropped out to finish ninth behind Miyano Goodly at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after settling back and making no impression. That followed a determined local win over Luminous Bouquet, where he scored by half a length when well enough fancied. He has a win and placing around 1400m, but the latest run makes him more of a place hope than a reliable winning play.

Comes off a last-start win at this track, finishing strongly to beat Wrapping Film by a neck on fast ground after starting at long odds. That was a clear step back in the right direction after finishing sixth behind Kashino Hood Star two runs ago. With a prior win around 1400m and the winning rider back aboard, he has the profile to make his recent form stand up again.

Disappointed as a heavily backed odds-on runner at this track last start, finishing sixth behind Miyano Goodly and beaten four and a half lengths after failing to quicken. His Mombetsu win two back was more convincing, working over the top to beat Sudare by half a length. Lightly raced and still promising enough, but he has to answer the latest local defeat before being treated as a top hope.

Ran better than his odds suggested when fourth to Miyano Goodly at this track last start, beaten a length and a half after picking up nicely in the straight. He was also second to Kashino Hood Star two back, beaten two lengths. Those efforts are sound, but the recent matchups still leave Kraken and Kashino Hood Star holding stronger claims.
