Saga Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
DAVAY SUCRE (7) Fought on well to win a tight contest last start here and have to respect the form at the distance. Can't knock the form winning 2 in a row. Fights on bravely so consider. ORENO AIBA (6) Ran well when 3rd last time here and have to respect the form at this trip. Showing great form since returning from a break. Definite claims. SPECIAL HOLIDAY (3) Brave effort to win narrowly by 1/2L last run at the track and ideal trip as proven previously. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 runs. Will give a big sight. FELSITE (2) Ran 5th last time at this track. Looking past the last run and can find a nice position from the draw. Looks promising in this race.

Drops sharply back into a more suitable 1400m assignment after being well held in ALLOW company over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, where he was 13th behind Black Legend and never looked likely from well back. The start prior at Hanshin Dirt was also plain, but he was at long odds there too. Class relief, weight relief and a superb four wins and one place from five starts at this track and distance give him a clear winning platform.

Has been safely held at his past two, finishing fifth at this track last start behind G T Reina when beaten over 11 lengths after being unwanted in the market. His previous eighth over 1750m was only fair, so the recent edge has dulled. The positives are his strong overall record and Yoshiki Yamada returning, with two wins from three rides, but he profiles as a minor chance unless he rebounds sharply.

Arrives in excellent order after consecutive wins at this track, most recently leading into the lane and holding G T Reina by half a length in B4 company. She had earlier beaten Crete D'Or by a length and a half in C1 grade and has now built a strong 1400m profile. Six wins and five places from 13 at this track and distance, plus a proven Takuto Demizu partnership, make her a major threat again.

Was beaten over 17 lengths when ninth behind G T Reina at this track last start, and the run offered no clear excuse after he settled handy and failed to come on. The start prior was better only in relative terms, finishing fifth behind Davay Sucre but still beaten just over six lengths. His track-and-distance record is respectable, yet recent form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Failed to come into the race when ninth behind Davay Sucre at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after being an outside chance in betting. That followed a fourth behind T O Smith as odds-on favourite, when he picked up nicely but still missed the frame. He has placed three times from five runs at this venue, though the win record remains thin and he needs the race to fall kindly.

Continues to hold his form, running third at this track last start behind G T Reina, albeit beaten eight lengths after working past weakening rivals. His previous third behind T O Smith was stronger, beaten two lengths when near the top of betting. Seven wins and six places from 13 starts at this track and distance is an outstanding base, and he looks a genuine each-way player again.

Has put together back-to-back wins at this track and keeps earning respect, most recently beating Tagano Tetsu by a head as favourite after racing right in the contest. The run prior was far more decisive, beating Danon Lyra by four lengths as an odds-on chance. Five wins and two places from eight at this track and distance underline his suitability, so another forward showing is expected.

Looked a winning hope at the top of the straight last start but did not go on with it, finishing fifth behind Davay Sucre and beaten five and a half lengths after being near the top of betting. Two back he led and was run down late, beaten half a length by Francina Tesoro, which is the run that keeps him in calculations. From the outside draw, he appeals more as a place chance than a clear win hope.
