Saga Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
MEISHO SHUHARI (6) Competitive effort when 3rd last start around here. Displaying good ability since returning from a spell. Can go on with it. MIKKI SWAN (7) Came in 4th last start at the track. Happy to forgive that run. Will be hitting the line strongly. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. DAIMEI MIRACLE (10) Tidy run when 2nd last start around here. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Respect against this field. ULTRA LIO (4) Ran 5th last run at this venue. Giving another go here. Goes close.

Returns after two months off following a plain run at Hanshin, where he settled prominently in a Mdn over 1600m but gave nothing late and was well beaten at big odds. The start prior at Chukyo Dirt was weaker again, finishing last and beaten out of sight after sitting just off the lead. The class drop is the clear positive, yet an unplaced record from three runs around 1400m keeps him more in the place mix than a reliable winning option.

Finished eighth at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths by Wizard Of Mari after giving away too much ground and never getting into the contest. Two back she made some late ground from well back over 900m, but that was also at long odds and still short of the required level. With no placing from 11 runs at this track and distance, she has to lift substantially to trouble the main chances.

Well held over 900m at this track last start, finishing eighth and beaten over 14 lengths after being unwanted in the market. He had caught the eye charging home for sixth the run prior, but both recent starts came over shorter trips and he remains winless from 19 runs in the past 12 months. A return to a track-and-trip scenario he has won at helps, though current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Worked into the right part of the race when fifth at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths by Wizard Of Mari, and that reads as one of the stronger recent efforts in this field. His previous sixth was better than the margin suggests after making ground from a long way back. Still a maiden after 15 starts, but the weight relief and current form profile give him a strong platform to go close.

Resumed with a fourth at this track behind Danon Prelude, beaten eight lengths after settling rearward, and the market respect at $4.7 suggests more was expected. He remains unplaced from eight starts, so there is still a winning edge to find, but he is second-up for Shinichi Higashi and has scope to sharpen from that first local run. In a modest race, he sits among the better winning hopes.

Has put together consecutive thirds at this track, most recently behind Danon Prelude when beaten seven lengths after settling rearward. The earlier placing behind Lily Crystal was a touch closer and she has now placed three times from four runs around 1400m. She beat Meiner Eifel a couple of weeks ago, which strengthens the place case, though another step is required to turn consistency into a win.

Kept grinding away for fourth at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths by Cosmo Tuxedo after settling handy in an open market. She was also fourth behind Lily Crystal two back, but that run flattened out after she was right there to strike. The concern is the 1400m record, with no wins or placings from seven tries, so she profiles as a minor-money hope rather than a standout.

Second last at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after conceding a huge start and never entering the race. His previous eighth was a long-margin defeat as well, despite making some late ground from an impossible position. He has placed three times overall and once at this track and distance, but recent form and market weakness point to a difficult assignment.

Comes through two strong seconds at this track, the latest behind Sound Diana when he led and battled on after being claimed. The run prior was the more compelling piece of form, beaten just under a length by Janus Tesoro on good ground. He has placed twice from three starts at this venue and twice from two with Hiroki Yamashita, giving him a solid base to challenge the top pick.

Dropped out to finish last at this track a fortnight ago, beaten just over nine lengths by Wizard Of Mari after sitting close enough but failing to launch. The run prior was heavier again, finishing tenth and beaten over 15 lengths behind Chica Mallorquina. She has placed with Naohito Tanaka before, yet her current form is too flat to make a serious case here.
