Saga Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
KRAKEN (4) Came in 4th last start here. Capable of a strong comeback. Is in good order and can run well. HAKUAI REVE (3) Came in 2nd last start at the track. Should muster plenty of early toe. Showing great form since coming back from a break. Should go close. KASHINO HOOD STAR (2) Mediocre display when 6th last start at this venue but has a good draw. Will be positive in the run early. Ren Hasegawa rates highly aboard. Up to these. LE BELLE GRAND (1) Ran 4th last start at Monbetsu. Expecting improvement and has drawn to do little work. Expecting to settle positively. First race for a new trainer. Respect in this event.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing fourth over 1000m at Mombetsu, beaten just under four lengths behind Tree Of Life at generous odds. The start prior in Open company at Sapporo was too strong when she settled rearward and made no late impression. The first try around 1400m is the query, but barrier one and Manato Hida's strong track profile give her a solid winning platform.

Was safely held when sixth at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths behind Breeze Hope after starting at generous odds. His previous run reads much better, scoring by two and a half lengths from Bellagio Happiness at this venue, and he beat Ryuno Spark in that race. With two wins from three starts for Ren Hasegawa and a strong 1400m record, he can bounce into the placings.

Went very close at this track last start, fighting hard after holding a slight advantage and going down by half a length to Miyano Goodly as a dominant odds-on favourite. She had been sixth behind Kashino Hood Star at her previous run, so there is still a small winning reservation. Her record of eight placings from 11 starts makes her reliable, if not easy to declare on top.

Worked home well from a long way back when fourth at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths behind Miyano Goodly at long odds. The run prior was similar enough, finishing fifth behind Kashino Hood Star after picking up in the straight. His overall record is sound, but he is yet to place in three starts at this track and distance, so he profiles as a rough place hope.

Dropped out sharply when ninth at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths behind Rikea Rumba after being close enough to challenge. That was a clear step away from her previous second at this venue, where she was beaten half a length by Miyano Goodly at long odds. Her career record has merit, but she must rediscover that earlier run to threaten seriously.

Was never in the race when sixth at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths behind Miyano Goodly at long odds after conceding a big start. The start prior was worse, finishing a distant last behind Rikea Rumba. Weight relief is some help, but she has been unplaced in three starts at this track and distance and has plenty to find.

Brings stronger credentials than his last two results suggest, with one win and three placings from nine starts overall and useful experience around 1400m. Last start was poor when beaten a long way behind Breeze Hope after getting too far out of his ground, and the previous seventh behind Rikea Rumba was also below par. Even so, his earlier profile and rider familiarity make him the one to beat.
