Saga Race 4 - Race 4 - 1300
PIKO PURPLE (9) Close to claiming the win last start at this venue. Jockey Isao Yamaguchi rates highly aboard. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. Will be competitive. VELOCION (1) Ran 4th last start around here but drawn beautifully. In fine form since coming back from a spell. Can go on with it. DIGNIDAD REAL (8) Handy enough when winning by 2L last time at the track and getting better in recent performances. Should be swooping on the field late. Could sneak a place. SAMMARU VALLEY (3) Performed below standard when 12th last run at this track but ideal trip as proven previously. Naohito Tanaka and Tooru Yamada have shared plenty of success together. Worth a ticket.

Was safely held when fourth at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths by Super Busy after settling rearward, so the margin cannot be ignored. The run prior reads better, when second to Lily Sunrise and beaten just under a length as short odds-on favourite. With three placings from four starts around 1300m, she has the right profile to rebound into a minor role.

Has been well below the required level at her past two runs, finishing second last at this track last start when beaten over 18 lengths by Janus Tesoro at long odds. She was also tailed off behind Grand Bouquet the start prior. A previous win at this track and distance is the one positive, but current form says she has a sizeable task.

Recent form has fallen away, with a last placing behind Apollon Tesoro at this track followed by a ninth two starts ago when beaten over 12 lengths. She does have a genuine record at this track and distance, including two wins from five starts, but those past figures are being outweighed by a flat current campaign. Others look to have stronger claims.

Has offered little in the closing stages at her past two starts, most recently second last behind Apollon Tesoro at this track when unwanted in the market and beaten over 12 lengths. Her previous eighth behind Disturbia was also a fair way short of what is required. The track-distance record is respectable, but a major lift is required.

Produced a strong win at this track two starts ago, coming from a difficult position to beat Cho Gal by two lengths over the trip at long odds. Last start was flatter when eighth behind Apollon Tesoro, beaten eight and a half lengths, but she was only an outside chance in betting. With a win from two starts at the distance and the winning rider back aboard, she can bounce back strongly.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing seventh in a COND at this track, beaten just over seven lengths by Prayer Londo after leading. Earlier in that campaign she was fifth behind Life Is Money, beaten two and a half lengths as favourite. She has won at this venue and with Ren Hasegawa, but race sharpness has to be proven fresh.

Was disappointing first-up at this track, finishing tenth behind Apollon Tesoro after being close enough but fading out, and she was near the top of betting. Her Kasamatsu second in C7 grade before the break reads better, as does a season record of three wins and one placing from nine starts. If she returns to that level, a placing is within reach.

Put it together at this track last start, winning by two lengths from Mozu Natsuno Jin as odds-on favourite after looming up and quickening stylishly. That followed a fourth behind Super Busy when he kept to the task, so the progression this campaign is clear. With a win from two starts at this venue and Manato Hida again aboard, he brings the strongest winning case.

Continues to race honestly, going down by a nose to Wizard Of Mari at this track last start after being near the top of betting. She had also run second behind Lily Crystal the start prior, and four placings from five starts at this venue underline her reliability. The only reservation is that she remains winless, but her recent form keeps her right in play.

Has been disappointing as a well-backed runner at her past two starts, beaten over 15 lengths by Janus Tesoro at this track last time after weakening badly at Sonoda in C3 grade when short odds-on favourite. Her broader profile is better, with two wins and three placings from 16 starts, so a rebound could see her run into the placings rather than dominate.
