Saga Race 2 - Race 2 - 1300
VENUS BELINA (5) Looked good when 3rd last run at this track and fitter for debut run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Isao Yamaguchi is a plus. Winning chance in this line up. LADY BONBON (2) Not up to scratch when 8th last run around here but will try to take advantage of the draw. Underrated. DAIMEI AGAIN (1) In the money when 3rd last time around here and has drawn to do little work. Shows good closing speed. Suitably placed in this race. PRAYER THUNDER (7) Well beaten when 10th last time at this track. Likely to get back. Should be around the mark.

Ran third at this track last start, beaten ten lengths by Hakuai Bonheur after lacking the turn of foot to make a serious challenge. That was a better result than his second-last in a Mdn at Hanshin Dirt, where he finished well held and faded late. He has one placing from four tries around 1300m, so the trip is workable rather than a strength, and he profiles as a genuine place hope rather than a clear winning threat.

Was second last at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds behind Grandioso, and there was no strong excuse despite sticking on once the race was beyond her. She had been fourth here the run prior, but that was also a wide-margin result. Her one placing from four starts at this venue offers a small positive, yet she must find sharper form to trouble the main chances.

Debuted with a fair fifth at this track over 900m, beaten five and a half lengths by Temu American after sitting behind the leaders and holding her ground to the line. She is second-up now for a leading trainer at this venue, which gives some scope for improvement, but 1300m is new and she has form to reverse on Venus Belina and Mitono Hope. A top-three finish is within reach if she progresses.

Finished sixth at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths by Hakuai Bonheur after settling rearward and making no late impression. The start prior was similar, with a well-beaten seventh behind Magissa Kirke. She is fourth-up and race fit, but three unplaced runs at this venue leave her with a sizeable task unless she can find a much stronger finish.

Made a solid debut at this track when third over 900m, beaten two lengths by Temu American after travelling well and fighting on bravely. She was near the top of betting, has already beaten Mitono Hope in that race, and now comes through as the top-rated recent-form runner. The jump to 1300m is untried, but with leading stable and jockey support she brings the best winning profile.

Worked home better than her finishing margin suggests when fifth at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Grandioso at big odds. Her previous sixth behind Davay Ho O was more even than sharp, and she is still unplaced from three starts at this track and distance. A leading trainer gives her some backing, but she looks more a place chance if the race opens up.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing last at this track, beaten over 19 lengths by Davay Ho O at long odds. He was also beaten a long way behind Timbre Tesoro the start prior and has been settling rearward without making an impact. Unplaced from three starts at this track and distance, he will have to produce a clear turnaround to get involved.

Worked home well on debut at this track when fourth over 900m, beaten four and a half lengths by Temu American after giving away a decent start. That effort suggested there is improvement to come second-up, and a leading jockey stays with him. He has to turn the tables on Venus Belina and is untried at 1300m, but the way he finished off makes him a strong winning chance.

Finished last at this track most recently, well held behind Grandioso after being very poor late, and she had also dropped out sharply when last behind Davay Speedy two back. She is unplaced from seven starts overall and has yet to place in six tries around 1300m. Although rated well for the distance in this field, her recent form leaves her relying on major improvement.

Returns from a two-month break after starting favourite at this track and finishing fifth, beaten a long way by Moon Of The Cross. That market respect is notable, even though the result itself was disappointing, and his previous run at Mombetsu was a long-odds last over 1000m. The form figures are thin, but in this field he remains a genuine chance if the freshening brings him back closer to market expectation.
