Saga Race 8 - Race 8 - 1300
MEINER EARTH (1) Did well when 2nd last run here and has drawn to do little work. Manato Hida and Kuratomi Ryuuichirou are a strong duo. Placed at every start this preparation. Can get the job done . ONLY LOVE (6) Came in 7th last time around here. Should bounce back. Has won 4 from 6 starts this campaign. This field suits. IKENO ASACHAN (9) Competitive effort when 2nd last run around here. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Strong chance. LEGEND (4) Unsatisfactory performance when 11th last start at this track. Won't be far away during the run. Exotics and place contender.

Has put together a strong sequence of seconds and again looked close to breaking through when runner-up to Mrs Jones at this track, beaten a length and a half after working home evenly. The start prior he chased Roberta Impact in C2 grade as a dominant odds-on favourite and still fought into the money. Proven around 1300m and holding the most consistent recent profile, he is the one they have to beat.

Recent form leaves him with a lot to find, having finished last at both runs this campaign. He was beaten over 12 lengths by Kairi Queen last start after settling rearward and making no late impression, following a 22-length defeat to Tortina when unwanted in the market. A past track-and-trip win is on the page, but current form is well below the required level.

Made some late ground from well back when fifth to Kairi Queen at this track, but was still beaten six lengths at big odds. Her previous run was plainer again, seventh to Cesa Sunrise and beaten over 10 lengths. The career record is respectable, yet she is winless from 13 starts at this venue and recent form points to a minor role at best.

Led last start but faded sharply when second last behind Kairi Queen, beaten over 11 lengths, so that run is hard to dress up. His third to Cesa Sunrise the start prior was more solid as a well-supported favourite, and his record at this track is a genuine asset. If he returns to that earlier effort he can run into a placing, but the last-start fade has to be forgiven.

Was never a factor when sixth to Kairi Queen last start, beaten six and a half lengths after having a lot of ground to make up. The run prior was similar, finishing fourth behind Cesa Sunrise by the same margin at big odds. She has won twice at this track and owns enough depth to hold place claims, but her recent finishing level has not looked like winning form.

Was disappointing as a well-fancied runner last start, finishing seventh to Kairi Queen and beaten six and a half lengths after only battling through the line. That came after a C2 win at this track when she beat Winkle Kiseki by a length as a prohibitive favourite. Three wins from three starts at this track and distance is a strong counterpoint, so she can bounce back into the placings.

Has been safely held at both recent runs, finishing eighth to Kairi Queen last start after conceding a big start, then seventh to Tortina before that when beaten over 12 lengths. His two wins from three attempts at this track and distance are a clear positive, but those figures are fighting against a current run of flat efforts. He has to lift sharply to threaten.

Finished fourth in a six-runner race last start, beaten just under nine lengths by Fukuno Sunano Bara after settling rearward. Her fifth to Cesa Sunrise before that was another well-held effort at big odds. She has placed before at this track and distance and has minor consistency with this jockey, but a 30-start maiden record makes the winning task difficult.

Ran second to Fukuno Sunano Bara last start, though the eight-length margin shows she was sound rather than dominant after racing close enough. Her previous fifth to Legendize came in a race where she was respected in the market and kept trying without reaching the placings. Three wins this season give her a solid base, and she looks the main danger if she can sharpen late.

Worked home evenly for third behind Fukuno Sunano Bara last start, beaten eight and a half lengths in a small field after starting among the outsiders. The run prior was only fair when sixth to Cesa Sunrise, but her record at the trip and two placings from three runs at this venue give her a more competitive shape than the margins alone suggest. She can be around the minors again.
