Saga Race 7 - Race 7 - 1300
MIKKI GENTLE (10) Finished 4th last time here. Expecting improvement. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Added confidence with Isao Yamaguchi doing the steering. Won't be far away. ARCHIE TESORO (9) First up and made a mess of them when winning by a distance first up last preparation here. Hiroki Yamashita is a plus but dropping back to a shorter trip. Has to be included. ROBERTA IMPACT (3) Ran 4th last start here. Giving another chance here. Good prospects. ANILA (6) Came in 6th last run at this track but have to respect the form at this trip. Watch it go close.

Worked home fairly from well back when seventh in C1 company at this track last start, but was still beaten just under nine lengths and was unwanted in the market. The run prior was a plain sixth over 1750m, beaten over 15 lengths after finding little. Her one win and two places from three starts at this track and distance give her some footing, but recent form makes her more a place hope than a winning threat.

Has struggled to make an impact in recent C1 runs, finishing second last at this track two weeks ago when beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. She was also second last the start prior, beaten over 18 lengths, so the current form line is hard to support. A past placing at this track and distance is only a minor offset, and she has to improve sharply to get involved.

Worked home well when fourth as odds-on favourite in C1 grade at this track last start, though the five-and-a-half-length margin was below market expectation. Her previous run was much stronger, sweeping home to beat Feb Lino by four lengths. She later lost to Weiss Witch, but two wins from two starts at this distance and a leading jockey aboard keep her in the mix.

Went backwards after sitting just off the leaders when second last at this track last start, finishing well beaten at big odds. That followed a seventh behind June Nadeshiko, beaten over 13 lengths, so the recent C1 form is thin. She does have two wins and five places from twelve runs at this track and distance, but current output leaves her with plenty to find.

Resumed with a ninth at this track in C1 company, beaten over 18 lengths after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. His broader record at this track and distance includes two wins and three places from 15 starts, so there is some past evidence under these conditions. On current figures, however, he must lift markedly second-up to trouble the stronger chances.

Made some late ground from well back when sixth in C1 company at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths, but she was never a winning factor. Her previous fifth behind June Nadeshiko was also just fair through the line. The strong track-distance record gives her a small positive, yet she still has to bridge a clear form gap on the leading chances.

Comes off consecutive seconds at this track, most recently beaten two lengths in C1 company after holding on for a placing against an open market. She was also runner-up to Roberta Impact the start prior and has since turned the tables on Mikki Gentle. While still a maiden after 17 starts, her two placings from two runs at this venue give her the most reliable recent profile.

Backed up a strong C1 win at this track with a solid second two weeks ago, beaten two lengths after being run down late by Surreal. The win prior was decisive, beating G T Noble by three lengths at generous odds, and her record at this venue is sound. With the winning rider back and recent form holding together, she profiles as a major winning chance.

Resumes from a five-month break after ending last campaign with an eighth at this track, beaten over 12 lengths in C1 company despite being near the top of betting. His start prior was far better, a length-and-a-half second after leading and only being run down late. The career record is strong and today's distance profile is appealing, so he can run well fresh if ready.

Battled on for fourth at this track last start in C1 company, beaten eight and a half lengths, and that was a sounder effort than his second-last finish the run prior. His claims rest more on the overall profile: five wins and four places from 15 starts, strong statistics at this venue and an excellent record with Isao Yamaguchi. A return to his better form would make him hard to dismiss.

Was never likely from well back when tenth at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds in C1 company. Her previous eighth behind Daihasshu was also safely held, and the market has offered little encouragement at recent runs. Although she has won six races overall, the current form pattern points to others having a much stronger profile.
