Saga Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
ALEXANDER SON (7) Average at best when 8th last time at this track. Expected to rebound. Has a nice turn of foot. Isao Yamaguchi adds value. Fights on bravely so consider. ASH GRACE (8) Honest race when 3rd last start around here. In a purple patch of form since resuming from a break. Must be considered. KITANO ROMAN (3) Ran 4th last run around here. Capable of bouncing back. Finishes off strongly. Definite claims. KITANO GAILLARD (2) Came in 6th last start around here but gets a favourable draw. Has good closing speed. Sound chances.

Finished 12th and well beaten by Shining Star at this track last start after settling miles back and failing to improve, and the market had her at big odds. The start prior was better visually when fourth behind Sound Diana, but she was still beaten over 12 lengths and unwanted in betting. With 17 starts for no placing and no result from 12 tries around 1400m, she has a major form task.

Has a stronger case than the latest sixth suggests, with her previous third behind Aryu at this track coming when beaten four lengths after working home evenly. Last start she gave away a big start and was never in the picture behind Mozu Natsuno Jin, so that run has to be treated cautiously. Still, she is top-rated on recent form and has placed at this track and distance, which keeps her right in the winning discussion.

Worked home soundly for fourth behind Dewdrop at this track last start, although the beaten margin of over 14 lengths keeps the performance in perspective. She had also been fair rather than threatening when fifth behind Bronzite the start prior after conceding a big start. Her 1400m record is more established than most here, and that gives her a realistic place profile rather than a dominant winning claim.

Has been well below the level required at both recent runs, finishing last behind Mozu Natsuno Jin at this track after fading late and being beaten by 22 lengths. He was also second last behind Cosmo Tuxedo two back, making no impression from the rear at big odds. One placing from 29 starts tells the story, and he has to find considerably more to trouble these.

Now third-up, but the race form still has to improve after finishing second last behind Mozu Natsuno Jin at this track and being beaten by 20 lengths. He did make some late ground two back behind Cosmo Tuxedo, though he was never a winning hope and again started at generous odds. The top-ranked local trainer is a positive, but the colt must show much more under race pressure.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing fifth on debut in a Mdn over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten seven and a half lengths by A Bientot after starting at big odds. He did not finish that race off, and 1400m is a new race-day trip, but there is obvious scope in a lightly raced colt. With Shinsuke Ishikawa aboard and limited exposed strength against him, he makes the most appeal.

Was disappointing as a well-supported runner last start, fading late when eighth behind Mozu Natsuno Jin and beaten over 20 lengths. His previous third behind Bronzite was far better, as he kept grinding into the placings after having plenty to do. Third-up fitness helps and Isao Yamaguchi is a positive booking, but he is more a place chance if he recaptures that earlier run.

Comes through the most consistent recent profile, having run third at both starts at this track and placed at both attempts over the distance. She was close enough in the market last start and held third behind Dewdrop, even if she never seriously threatened the winner. Fourth-up fitness is in her favour, and her reliability gives her a strong winning chance in a race lacking depth.

Was never in the picture when seventh behind Mozu Natsuno Jin at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths after giving away a big start. The run prior was more competitive when fourth behind Bronzite, beaten five and a half lengths at big odds. Her overall record is still light, with one placing from seven starts, but that earlier effort gives her a minor-money hope if she improves.

Finished well held behind Shining Star at this track last start after conceding a big start and never entering calculations, and she was again at long odds. Two back she did keep working when seventh behind Cosmo Tuxedo, but was never a winning hope there either. Three career placings offer some background, yet her current-season form leaves her with a sizeable gap to bridge.
