Saga Race 7 - Race 7 - 1300
MRS JONES (3) Did well when 3rd last time around here. Manato Hida takes the reins today. Likely to be well placed early. Racing consistently this campaign. Cannot underestimate. MEINER EARTH (7) Won by a huge margin of 6L last start at this venue. Been in the money each attempt this campaign. Jockey Isao Yamaguchi is in form. Sure to be thereabouts. LEGENDIZE (5) Came in 5th last start here. Has the ability to figure. HOSUMANI EN (10) Racing on a quick back up. Got the cash when winning by 1L last start at this venue. Don't overlook.

Recent form has fallen away, with a ninth at this track last start when among the outsiders and beaten just over nine lengths by North Gloria after settling a long way back. The start prior was weaker again, finishing second last and beaten over 18 lengths by Love Me Nassau. His track-and-trip record is respectable, but current figures leave him with a lot to find.

Has not been finishing his races off strongly enough, the latest a seventh at this track when at long odds and beaten eight and a half lengths by North Gloria after sitting handy. He was also seventh the run before, beaten over 14 lengths by Love Me Nassau. A solid overall record is offset by poor recent numbers, and others bring stronger claims.

Comes through a strong recent sequence, finishing third at this track last start when near the top of betting and beaten just over a length by Ray Floret. She had won the start prior, beating Meiner Earth by a length and a half as a very short odds-on favourite. Manato Hida has won three times on her, and her record at this venue makes her a major winning player.

Worked into fourth at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths by North Gloria after settling rearward, and the market respected her chance. That was a clear return to a more competitive level after finishing second last in a Mdn at Nakayama the run before. She is still winless from nine starts, but her latest effort puts her firmly in the place mix.

Was not far away when fifth at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths by North Gloria after being sent around at long odds. The previous run gives his case more substance, having been pipped at the post by Smile Forest as a well-supported favourite. His one win and six placings from eleven starts at this track and distance point to another honest showing.

Recent runs make him hard to entertain, with a second-last finish at this track last start when beaten over 13 lengths by Kairi Queen at long odds. He was also well held the start prior, finishing eighth and beaten over 15 lengths by Love Me Nassau. Past track-and-trip success is noted, but his current form falls well short of what is required.

Put the race away in decisive fashion last start, beating Only Love by six lengths at this track as a dominant odds-on favourite. That followed a sound second to Mrs Jones, beaten a length and a half after working home evenly. Two wins and one placing from three starts at the distance underlines the profile, and he has the form strength to be right in the finish again.

Last start was plain, finishing eighth at this track and beaten nine lengths by North Gloria after giving away too much start. Her previous fourth behind Revident was more competitive, and she has two wins and one placing from six starts at this track and distance. That local record keeps her in the minor-money conversation, rather than as a clear winning threat.

Has been too far off the mark of late, finishing seventh at this track last start when big odds and beaten over 10 lengths by Kairi Queen. The start prior was similar, beaten over 14 lengths by Love Me Nassau after being unable to make headway. Her record with Naohito Tanaka is a small positive, but recent form leaves her up against it.

Delivered the strongest recent win in the field, quickening sharply from a rearward position to beat Odai by a length at this track last start despite starting among the outsiders. He had been solid enough when fourth to Queen Saga the run before, and his track-and-trip record reads well. The quick back-up is the one query, but he brings the right profile to go on with it.
