Saga Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
WIN POLARIS (7) Came in 6th last time at this track. Looking past the last run. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Appears as a winning threat. KITTEN'S LUSTER (10) Disappointing run when 11th last start at the track. Likely to bounce back. Shows good finishing speed. Key player. TAMAMO MARIAGE (5) Disappointing effort when 12th last start at the track. Should be around the mark. AENO HOPE (6) Came in 6th last run around here but returning to an increased distance. Looks a value runner.

Comes off a ninth at this track over 900m, beaten over 17 lengths by Danon Claudia after settling midfield and coming under pressure late. The start prior was weaker again when she finished a distant last behind Long Genius. Barrier one is some help, but eight previous starts around 1400m without a placing make her more a minor-place hope if the race falls apart.

Finished last at this track over 900m a fortnight ago, well beaten by 24 lengths behind Danon Claudia after making no impression. The run prior was similar, second last behind Cosmo Maui at long odds. With no wins and just one placing from 145 starts, she has very limited winning appeal, though the thin recent form around her keeps a rough place line open.

Was tenth at this track last start, well beaten by Dear Mortar after giving away a big start in the lane and never getting into the race. Two back she was eighth in a COND at Kochi, beaten over 16 lengths when unwanted in the market. Fourth-up fitness is a small positive, but she is unplaced in eight starts and has to find a much stronger finish.

Was tenth behind Danon Claudia over 900m at this track last start, beaten over 19 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. The start prior was another plain effort, beaten a long way by Long Genius. She steps back to a trip where she is unplaced in three attempts, and the current form leaves her with plenty to prove.

Resumed with a last placing at this track, beaten a long way by Dear Mortar after leading and dropping out alarmingly. Her prior Mdn run at Kokura was more respectable, eighth over 1200m and beaten five lengths at big odds. She is second-up and lightly raced, but remains unplaced from five starts and must turn that first-up failure around to threaten.

Produced one of the more useful recent efforts when sixth behind Danon Claudia at this track over 900m, beaten over 13 lengths but pressing forward and battling on well. She stays on 51kg and has raced enough this campaign to be ready. The 1400m record is not yet convincing, but her latest effort and light weight give her a genuine winning platform.

Was fair to the line when sixth at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Into Golden, and that followed a sixth in C1 company at Kasamatsu when near the top of betting. She owns the best distance profile in the field with one win from four starts around 1400m, and her 12-month form reads stronger than most. That makes her a key winning threat.

Finished eighth behind Danon Claudia at this track over 900m, beaten over 17 lengths after settling midfield and failing to make up the required ground. Two back she was tailed off behind Long Genius at big odds. Her distance rating gives some place interest, but five starts around 1400m without a placing and a winless career keep the winning case thin.

Was expected to do more when ninth behind Cosmo Maui at this track last start, well beaten after being near the top of an open market. The start prior was another distant eighth in a COND at Kasamatsu behind Kuriko Falcon. He remains unplaced from three starts, including two at this distance, so market respect alone is not enough to make him a serious threat.

Resumed with a weak second-last at this track, beaten a long way by Dear Mortar after settling rearward and giving ground late. Her Sapporo Mdn run before that was better on the margin, eighth over 2000m and beaten just over eight lengths, but she was still unwanted in the market. Manato Hida is a positive booking, though the form has to lift substantially.

Comes through an eighth at this track behind Dear Mortar, beaten over 19 lengths after having the job ahead and making no headway. Her previous run was also eighth in C4 grade at Mombetsu, beaten over 18 lengths at long odds. The margins are not attractive, but the recent-form rating keeps her in the winning mix if she can finish off with more purpose.
