Saga Race 10 - Race 10 - 1750
KAIRI QUEEN (4) Finished on top by 2L last run around here and back over more ground. Won last 2 on the bounce. Must respect. CROWN RISING (1) Came in 4th last time here. Expecting improvement and drawn beautifully. Should muster plenty of early speed. Won't be far away. CRY ME A RIVER (5) Competitive effort when 3rd last start around here. Will be trying to topple them late. In fine form since coming back from a spell. Looks to be value. ARDIOR (7) Was a comprehensive winner by 7L last time at this track. Expecting to settle positively. Can be competitive.

Held his ground for fourth at this track last start, beaten a length and a half behind Smile Forest after settling rearward as the odds-on favourite. The start prior he led and worked home evenly when fourth behind Bright Color, so the recent form is honest rather than dominant. Barrier 1 and a solid track profile keep him in the mix, but he looks more a place prospect than a runner to take short odds about.

Went within a neck of Smile Forest at this track last start, producing a much sharper effort at big odds after being pipped on the post. That was a clear lift on his previous eighth behind Bright Color, where he was never a factor and beaten over 11 lengths. His record around 1750m is strong enough, with four wins from 17 attempts, so he has the substance to press for another placing.

Was well held at this track last start, finishing eighth behind Mozu Life Saver and beaten over 12 lengths after conceding a huge start. His previous fifth behind G T Reina was also only fair, with the in-running note saying he did not quicken. Three placings from six at this track and distance offer some minor support, but he has to improve sharply on recent figures.

Comes in off consecutive wins at this track, beating Cesa Sunrise by two lengths over 1300m last start after maintaining a clear advantage, following a length-and-a-half win over Mozu Orage. She is yet to place from five attempts around 1750m, so the trip has to be respected as a query, but her current form, track record and Manato Hida partnership make her the runner they all have to beat.

Has been consistent without winning, finishing third at this track at her past two starts and beaten just over a length behind Smile Forest last time. She was near the top of an open market there and again settled rearward, which leaves her relying on the race to unfold kindly. This is her first look around 1750m, and while she is honest enough, the profile reads more each-way than win-only.

Finished seventh at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths behind Derma Tamon after being swamped late from a narrow lead. She had been fourth behind Mozu Life Saver the start prior and did pick up in the straight, but the recent margins still leave her short of the main hopes. A track win and four placings at the distance help, yet she will have to lift to threaten.

Put the race away in fine style at this track last start, winning a C2 by seven lengths from Tagano Loves One after travelling close and quickening clear. That was a decisive response to his previous sixth behind Sei Blue Eye, when he gave away too much start. He has won at this track and distance and has a good record with Hiroki Yamashita, so he rates a strong danger to the favourite.

Worked home fairly from an impossible position when seventh behind Fractal last start, though she was beaten just over eight lengths at long odds. Her third behind Acqua Virile two back was better, even if she lacked the turn of foot to make a serious challenge. A previous win at this track, the rider back aboard and a strong stable presence give her a path into this despite the mixed figures.

Backs up after six days following a fifth behind Tagano Artemis at this track, beaten just over seven lengths after giving away a big start and finishing fairly. The start prior was a similar pattern when fifth behind Meiner Earth, and she was unwanted in the market both times. The quick return is a positive, but she is unplaced from four starts at this distance and must find more.

Closed strongly for fifth behind Derma Tamon at this track last start, beaten just over a length after being well supported as favourite. The start prior she was second to Ardior in a C2 but was beaten seven lengths, so that matchup is a clear reference point. Still a maiden after eight starts, though three placings around 1750m give her a realistic chance to fill a minor placing again.
