Saga Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
GRAND BOUQUET (9) Competitive effort when 2nd last run at this track. Manato Hida and Katsuya Sameshima deserve respect together. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Very competitive this preparation. Looks well suited in this race. TOR (3) Didn't finish around here. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. More confidence with jockey Isao Yamaguchi guiding the horse. In the mix. POP THUNDER (10) Finished 4th last start around here. Can surprise and by no means out of it. A SHIN REAPER (6) Average at best when 7th last run at Sonoda and dropping in distance. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Racing for a new trainer. Capable of a running a place.

Has been safely held at both recent starts, finishing seventh last start at this track when beaten over 12 lengths by God Tesoro after being unwanted in the market. The start prior was a distant fourth behind Wonder Visible, beaten over 14 lengths. A low strike-rate record and no win from nine attempts at this track and distance leave her with plenty to find.

Arrives chasing three straight after dominant wins at this track, most recently beating Vin Rose by five lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. She had also put Piko Purple away by the same margin the run prior, showing a sharp turn of foot. With two wins from three starts around 1400m and the winning rider back aboard, she brings the strongest recent form and is clearly the one to beat.

Failed to finish last start at this track despite being near the top of betting, so that result has to be treated as a trust query. The start prior was also below his best when sixth behind Queen Saga, beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward. His three wins and one place from eight starts at this track and distance, plus a strong jockey-trainer profile, keep him in the minor mix.

Has finished well down the track at his past two runs, coming in second last behind God Tesoro most recently when beaten over 15 lengths and unwanted in the market. He was ninth behind Queen Saga before that, again at big odds. Past track-distance form reads better than the current form line, but he must lift sharply to threaten here.

Has not shown enough in two recent runs, finishing ninth behind God Tesoro last start when beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. The run prior was also plain, tracking the speed but failing to quicken when tenth behind Queen Saga. She has placed several times at this track and distance, but her current form leaves her facing a stern task.

Returns from a two-month break after being tailed off at Sonoda over 1870m, where he was close enough to challenge before dropping out sharply. He had led the start prior but still finished fifth, beaten over 13 lengths, despite market respect. The return to 1400m helps given his one win and six places from nine starts at the trip, so a place rebound is possible if he finds his earlier consistency.

Improved on the bare recent form when fourth behind Feles Adamas last start, beaten just over three lengths, although the market gave him little hope. The start prior was much weaker when beaten over 17 lengths after conceding a huge start. Unplaced in all 20 starts over the past 12 months, he has to back up that latest effort before appealing strongly.

Produced a sharp last-start win at this track, beating Aryu by four lengths after kicking clear at long odds. That followed a close fourth behind Francine, beaten just over half a length, so the current form is stronger than his market profile suggests. Hiroki Yamashita has two wins and one place from five rides on him, and another bold showing looks well within reach.

Only just missed last start at this track, going under by just under a length to Remigino Tesoro after being backed into very short odds-on territory. That followed a runaway win over Neo Diamante, and her record of two wins and one place from three starts at this track and distance is excellent. She has already shown the right profile to bounce straight back.

Closed into fourth behind Final Feliz last start, beaten just over four lengths at big odds, which was a sound response after being beaten a long way behind Rising Hearth the run prior. The concern is the win column, with no wins but ten placings from 24 starts overall. She is reliable enough for exotics, but turning that into a win looks the harder part.

Ran well below expectations last start when tenth behind God Tesoro at this track, beaten over 14 lengths with no obvious excuse in the run. The start prior was much better, just failing to hold on when second to Fuku Moana by a length. She has two wins around 1400m and enough back form to improve, but the latest run makes her more a place hope than a win anchor.
