Saga Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
T M PHANTOM (1) Looked good when 2nd last time around here and drawn the rails. Has a great burst of speed late. Respect against this field. CRACK A SMILE (6) Below expectations when 10th last run here. Will be motoring home late. Must be considered. PEACE OF REIZ (9) Unimpressive effort when 10th last run at Mizusawa but stepping back up in trip. Coming to a new trainer. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Winnable race. MAHA GITA (10) Came in 8th last run at Tokyo City Keiba. Change in trainer. Exotics and place contender.

Improved sharply when second in a C2 at this track last start, beaten three lengths by Long Genius after only battling on late. That was a clear lift on his previous ninth behind Super Busy, when he was at long odds and beaten over 13 lengths after failing to muster in the straight. Still a maiden, but one placing from three tries around 1400m keeps him in the mix for another minor cheque.

Has been well held at both recent runs, finishing seventh in a C2 at this track last start when beaten over 18 lengths after settling a long way back. The start prior at Kanazawa was no better, ending last in a small field. Her two wins at 1400m are the saving grace and the class-drop tag helps, but current form makes her more a place hope than a winning play.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing ninth in a Hanshin Mdn over 2000m, beaten five and a half lengths after giving away too much start. She had also been safely held at Chukyo, but both runs came in stronger Mdn company and this class drop is significant. The first try around 1400m is a query, yet Manato Hida taking the ride and the softer assignment make her the runner to beat.

Finished fourth at this track last start, but the margin was still eight and a half lengths and she was sent out at long odds. Her previous fourth reads similarly, beaten over 14 lengths despite being near the top of an open market. She has closed off from hopeless positions, but four unplaced tries around 1400m underline the task ahead.

Recent form is difficult to support, with a second-last finish at this track last start when well beaten and unwanted in the market. He had also been beaten over 18 lengths the run prior after conceding a big start. His long record includes four placings, but no win from 38 starts leaves him with a serious amount to find against sharper rivals.

Was tenth in a C2 at this track last start, beaten over 19 lengths after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The prior eighth, beaten over 13 lengths behind Lily Crystal, offered little more. A previous placing at this track and distance is some background support, but she must improve sharply to be competitive.

Returns from a two-month break for her second-up run after finishing 12th in a Sapporo Mdn over 2000m, beaten just over nine lengths when unwanted in the market. The Hakodate Dirt run before that was poor, but the move into easier company gives her a much more suitable platform. Around 1400m is new territory, though the class angle keeps her high among the winning chances.

Returns off a six-week freshening after a better seventh in a Nakayama Dirt Mdn over 1200m, beaten three and a half lengths while keeping to the task. Her fifth at Niigata Dirt two back came when closer in the market, so there is enough recent substance. The rise to 1400m is the main question after one unplaced try, but the class drop and strong rider-trainer profile give her a live chance.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a disappointing last at Mizusawa, beaten over 15 lengths when near the top of an open market. The run prior is the reason to give her some respect, as she fought hard when beaten a head by Rare Gryphon. Weight relief is a genuine help, but her 23-start maiden record and one placing in the past 12 months keep her as an outside hope.

Comes through two Ohi C3 runs, most recently eighth over 1200m when beaten just over six lengths at big odds. She was seventh over 1600m the start prior after being handy enough but failing to finish off. Has placed once from three attempts at this distance and now changes stable-rider combination, but a 23-start maiden record keeps the win case limited.
