Saga Race 6 - Race 6 - 1300
DEAR MORTAR (3) Not competitive when 10th last time at Hanshin and dropping in distance. Coming to a new trainer. Shows good finishing speed. Underrated. MEADOW SAGE (8) Finished 6th last start at Nagoya. Should muster plenty of early toe. First appearance for a new trainer. Has to be included. TOA AGNES (2) Ordinary performance when 8th last run at Kochi but will try to take advantage of the draw. Should race on the speed. First start for a new trainer. Gets a chance to win. KITTEN'S LUSTER (1) Fresh after a spell. Came in 8th last time at Sapporo but has the ideal draw. First start for a new trainer but back to a shorter distance. Worth an each way bet in this.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing eighth in a Mdn at Sapporo, beaten just over eight lengths by Wilson after being close enough before weakening. The start prior at Hakodate Dirt was more concerning, when second last and finished well held at big odds. She is unplaced from four starts and tackles around 1300m for the first time, so sharp improvement is required.

Has been well beaten in both runs this campaign, finishing eighth at Kochi last start behind Three Kizuna Hime after settling handy and dropping out. She was tenth there the run prior and again finished well held, so the race-fitness angle has to be weighed against seven starts without a placing. Proven ineffective around 1300m to date, and others bring stronger recent claims.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing tenth in an ALLOW at Hanshin, beaten just over four lengths by Aroma Feliz when giving away a start but working home fairly. The run prior was better, a sixth in Mdn company at Hanshin when beaten just over a length by Titanomachia. She has not placed from seven starts, but her latest two efforts give her a genuine minor-money profile here.

Returns off a six-week freshening after finishing second last in a Hanshin Mdn, beaten over 18 lengths by Lucky Stone after fading late. Her Sapporo Dirt run prior was also plain, but she now gets a far more suitable assignment and has been kept high in the assessment despite those margins. First try around 1300m is the question, though this field gives her a real chance to rebound.

Returns from a six-week let-up with the key positive being a softer assignment after two Mdn runs over 2200m. He was 12th at Hanshin last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Ribbon In The Sky, after being unable to make ground, while his Chukyo sixth two back was a sounder reference. Fourth-up and back in grade, he gets his clearest opportunity to make an impact.

Returns from a lengthy spell after an eighth in a Kokura Mdn, beaten five lengths by Hakusan Tedorigawa when just fair through the line. She had been tenth at Hanshin the run prior and was unwanted in the market both times, so the overall profile remains modest. Three previous tries around 1300m have produced no placing, leaving her with a fair bit to prove first-up.

Resumes after two months off following a second-last finish in a Niigata Dirt Mdn, beaten over 17 lengths by Rhombus Bless after giving away a huge start. His earlier Tokyo Dirt run was no better, but the class drop and Isao Yamaguchi booking are positives in a race lacking depth. He remains unplaced from three starts, yet can press for a minor cheque if he begins better.

Latest run at Nagoya was a clear concern, finishing sixth but tailed off behind Brilliance after being unwanted in the market. She was also beaten over 19 lengths there the start prior, so the recent form lacks force despite the class drop and race-fit profile. With eight starts for no placing and no success around 1300m, she looks more a rough place hope than a winning threat.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a ninth in a Chukyo Dirt Mdn, beaten over 10 lengths by Island when unable to make headway. Two back he was beaten over 18 lengths at Hanshin Dirt, so the bare form is not compelling. The rider and trainer profile is a positive, but he is unplaced from eight starts and has not raced around 1300m before, making this a cautious place assessment.

Resumes after two months off following an 11th in a Nakayama Dirt Mdn, beaten over 13 lengths by Tornado Isle after settling back and making no impression. His Niigata Dirt run prior was weaker, but he now comes in third-up and drops into a more suitable race. First attempt around 1300m is unproven, yet the set-up gives him a solid chance to improve sharply.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing last in a Sapporo Dirt Mdn, where he was prominent early but gave nothing in the run home behind Wonder Blitz. The Hakodate Dirt run prior was another heavy defeat, and his eight-start career record remains winless and unplaced. Blinkers are not noted as a gear change, so he simply has to produce a much stronger fresh run.

Comes off an eighth at Mombetsu in C4 grade, beaten over 18 lengths by Gaya's Base after starting at big odds. The start prior was also well below the mark, finishing last over 1000m and failing to improve from a rearward position. She has no placing from six starts and has been unplaced in three tries around 1300m, so others make far more appeal.
