Saga Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
RIKEA RUMBA (5) sets the standard after two starts for two emphatic wins, most recently putting BREEZIN' WAY away by six lengths at this track as a very short odds-on favourite. His debut success at Kochi was by a long way, so the substance is more than one sharp performance, and he is already a winner at this distance. TAKAYOSHI (12) is the clear danger on overall consistency, with two wins and two placings from four starts and a strong track record, though he was turned over at prohibitive odds when BREEZE HOPE beat him by half a length last time. S ONE MOKOCHAN (1) resumes after four months, having ended her first campaign with a soft three-length win at this venue after placing on debut, and the inside draw gives her a clean platform fresh. MIYANO GOODLY (8) earned her spot among the chances by holding off WONDERFUL RING last start, but she was an odds-on fourth the run prior and has to prove that latest lift was no one-off.

Returns from a four-month break after ending her first campaign with a soft win at this track, beating Dragon Ai by three lengths as a short odds-on favourite. She had earlier run third on debut behind Breezin' Way when also well found in betting, so the early profile is sound. Barrier one helps her first-up task, and her two-start record at this venue makes her a genuine winning player if ready.

Was beaten over 16 lengths by Rikea Rumba last start after leading, which was a plain result given he was near the top of betting. His previous third behind Breeze Hope was far better, when run down late and beaten two lengths. With Isao Yamaguchi back aboard and a placing at the distance, he can rebound into the minor money if that last run is put aside.

Went close at big odds last start, picking up well for second to Miyano Goodly and beaten only half a length at this track. That was a sharp rebound from being beaten over 15 lengths behind Breeze Hope the run prior, so trust remains the issue. Her around-1400m record has merit, but she has to hold that latest form against stronger opposition.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a determined win at this track, beating Takayoshi by half a length despite being among the outsiders. She had been only fair when fifth to Takayoshi at her previous run, so the head-to-head form has swung both ways. Proven around 1400m and with two wins from four overall, she is a realistic place chance again.

Made it two from two with a dominant six-length win at this track last start, quickly putting the race away as a very short odds-on favourite. His debut win at Kochi was by a long way, and he has already won at this distance and at this venue. Third-up, race-fit and still improving through his first campaign, he brings the cleanest winning profile in the race.

Finished third behind Rikea Rumba last start but was beaten over 13 lengths and only battled on after starting at long odds. He had also been well held when fifth to Breeze Hope two back, giving away a big start and never threatening. His around-1400m record includes a win and three placings, but current figures leave him with plenty to find.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last at this track, where she was tailed off at big odds and never improved from well back. Her start prior was also a distant last behind Takayoshi, so the recent form reads poorly. A previous track win is noted, but she must produce a far sharper finish to trouble these.

Broke through at this track last start, holding a narrow lead and finding enough to beat Wonderful Ring by half a length at outsider odds. She had been beaten just over six lengths as an odds-on favourite behind Kashino Hood Star the run prior, which tempers the win slightly. Around 1400m she has a win and a placing, so she can hold a minor role again.

Was safely held last start when seventh to Miyano Goodly, beaten six and a half lengths after coming under pressure late at this track. Her debut win over 900m was sound enough, scoring by two and a half lengths despite being unwanted in the market, but this is a deeper test of that promise. She is a place hope if the latest run proves a learning point.

Was second to Rikea Rumba first-up but beaten six lengths and unable to quicken, so the margin tells the main story. Her debut win at this track was good, coming from the rear to beat Prayer Boss with something in hand, and she has placed at this distance. Even so, she must bridge a clear gap on the favourite from their latest meeting.

Has been well beaten in all three runs this campaign, most recently tailed off behind Rikea Rumba after settling back and weakening right out of it. She was also beaten over 19 lengths by Breeze Hope two runs ago at long odds. Her 1400m record shows no wins or placings from three tries around the trip, leaving others far more persuasive.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a narrow second to Breeze Hope, beaten half a length as a prohibitive odds-on favourite but still fighting hard to the line. His previous run was a commanding six-length win over Aarti at this track, and his overall record of two wins and two placings from four starts is excellent. From the wide draw, he still rates a major winning chance.
