Saga Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
CIEL BRILLER (5) In the money when 3rd last time around here. Jockey Isao Yamaguchi rates highly. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. DEWDROP (1) Honest race when 3rd last time at this venue and has minimal work to do from the draw. Manato Hida and Kuratomi Ryuuichirou demand respect when they team up. Looks promising in this race. ASH GRACE (6) Tidy effort when 3rd last start at the track. Genuine winning chance. K TWO KORUUNI (2) Below par when 9th last run at this track but gets a favourable draw. Has the ability to take this out.

Improved into third at this track over 900m last start, beaten four lengths by Daiyu Hamilton after starting odds-on favourite. That was a much better piece of form than her Chukyo Dirt Mdn run two back, where she was 11th and beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. The step back to 1400m remains the query after one unplaced attempt around the trip, but her current campaign is trending the right way and she rates a genuine winning chance.

Has been well held at her past two starts, finishing ninth at this track on each occasion and beaten over 19 lengths most recently behind Sound Diana. She was also beaten over 14 lengths by Lily Crystal the run prior after giving away a big start. Her wider record around 1400m includes one win and three placings, so there is some old substance, but recent form leaves her as a rough minor hope only.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing second last in a Kanazawa B1 over 900m, beaten over 16 lengths at long odds behind Trusted. Her previous run was also at Kanazawa, where she was sixth and beaten over 12 lengths after settling back and only battling. The class drop offers some help, but she is unplaced in 15 starts overall and has yet to show enough at 1400m to appeal strongly.

Finished sixth at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Bronzite after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The prior fourth reads better on paper, but he was beaten out of sight behind Loving Champ despite making some late ground. With just one placing from 42 starts and no placing from 13 tries at this track and distance, he has a sizeable form task.

Worked home into third at this track over 1400m last start, beaten five lengths by Long Genius after being sent out a well-supported favourite. That followed a plain seventh behind Super Busy, but the latest effort continued his campaign progression and he has now placed at both this venue and the distance. With a leading track jockey staying aboard, he has the right profile to take this out.

Worked home evenly for third at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Cosmo Maui, and now reaches the third run of the campaign. Her first-up run at Sapporo Dirt was plain when eighth in a Mdn over 1000m at big odds, but the latest effort showed clear race-day improvement. She is still looking for her first win, yet her one start at this distance produced a placing and she sits among the better place hopes.

Was safely held when seventh at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Bronzite at long odds after giving away a big start. Her previous fifth behind White Opal was more encouraging, as she was beaten five lengths and made late ground from an unpromising position. The overall record remains thin and she is unplaced in three starts at this track and distance, but her better run gives her a minor-place angle.

Produced a fair late effort when fifth at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Bronzite after giving away a big start and being unwanted in the market. Her eighth behind Aryu two back was weaker, but she brings more 1400m substance than most of these, with two wins and three placings from 18 starts around the trip. If she is asked to improve earlier, she has the form base to be a major player.

Finished sixth over 900m at this track last start, beaten ten lengths by Daiyu Hamilton after being unwanted in the market. That was at least an improvement on her previous last placing behind Aryu, where she was well beaten by 24 lengths. She has won at this venue and gets the winning rider back, but 25 starts around 1400m without a win or placing keeps the winning case limited.

Finished eighth at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths by Bronzite at big odds after being left with too much to do. The start prior was no stronger, with a second-last finish behind Aryu and another margin beyond 19 lengths. He has placed three times from 28 starts overall, but remains winless and is unplaced from nine attempts at this track and distance, so sharper improvement is required.

Led at this track last start but dropped out to finish second last, beaten over 18 lengths by Bronzite after starting big odds. Her previous seventh behind Aryu was also safely held, beaten over 13 lengths on good ground. She has managed four placings from 29 starts, but no win and no placing from seven tries at this track and distance point to a difficult assignment.
