Saga Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
FRANCINA TESORO (1) Put the head down when winning last time at the track and hard to fault at this distance. Should muster plenty of early toe. Going well this campaign. Will be in the finish. B B BELLEZA (7) Secured the win by a slim margin last time around here. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 starts. Rates a winning chance. KITO WIN (9) Ran 6th last time at this venue. Don't overlook. GET THE FAME (2) On a quick back up. Nice run when 3rd last start around here and has a good draw. Down in distance. Worth an each way bet in this.

Kept her strong campaign rolling when winning a COND at this track last start, beating Nife Debiru by half a length after looming up and holding on with purpose. The start prior she was beaten only half a length by B B Belleza as a well-supported favourite, so the recent form ties in neatly. Six wins and six places from 13 starts at this track and distance make her the most reliable winning profile.

Worked home into third over 1750m at this track last week, beaten just under four lengths by Cosmo Gin Buck after settling rearward and starting at long odds. His previous fifth over 2000m was less convincing, but the quick back-up is assessed as a positive and his record around 1400m is sound. With Yukihito Nagata back aboard, he shapes as a genuine placing chance.

Finished sixth behind A Shin Sturm at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after looking unlikely before making late ground. That was an improvement on the prior sixth, when beaten over 15 lengths and never likely. His track-and-distance record and strong partnership with Shinsuke Ishikawa are positives, but current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Has been a long way from competitive at his past two runs, finishing last behind A Shin Sturm most recently when beaten over 13 lengths at this track. He was also seventh two back, beaten over 16 lengths, and the market has shown little interest. Older form includes wins at this venue, but he has to produce a major turnaround to trouble this field.

Improved to fourth over 900m at this track four weeks ago, beaten just over five lengths by Lord Midnight after racing behind the leaders, though she was unwanted in the market. Her start prior was plain when second last and beaten over 13 lengths. The return to 1400m suits on her broader record, and Manato Hida has won seven times on her, so she is a rough hope for the minors.

Worked home fairly for fifth behind Francina Tesoro at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths, without ever threatening. The start prior he was ninth behind B B Belleza after giving away a big start and finishing off only late. He has won in the past year, but his 1400m record shows two placings from 15 tries, so he profiles as a place chance rather than a strong win play.

Returns from a five-week let-up after charging home to beat Francina Tesoro by half a length in a COND at this track. That followed a dominant six-length win from Sceptrum over 1750m, so he arrives in peak form and has already shown he can sustain it across different setups. Two wins from two starts at this venue and with Taku Kawashima give him a strong claim again.

Ran fifth behind A Shin Sturm at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths after settling rearward at big odds. The prior fifth was a heavier defeat, more than 10 lengths away, and he has been unplaced in all 20 starts across the past 12 months. His overall career record is respectable, but recent form makes it difficult to build a strong case.

Was safely held when sixth behind Francina Tesoro last start, beaten just over seven lengths, and he settled too far back to make an impact. His previous fifth behind B B Belleza had more merit, beaten three and a half lengths after catching the eye late. Four wins and ten places from 35 starts at this track and distance keep him in the place mix, but he must sharpen up to win.
