Saga Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
VISU IIJAN (6) Game effort to win narrowly by a head last run around here and will be well suited at the distance. Must be considered. A SHIN L'ALA (9) Racing fresh after a break. Came in 6th last run here. Likely to bounce back. Jockey Isao Yamaguchi is a bonus. Will be around the mark at odds. DRAIG (3) Back from a spell. Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 4L last start here. Manato Hida and Kuratomi Ryuuichirou work well together. Shows good early pace. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. HIOGI (8) Came in 8th last time at Nagoya. First appearance for a new trainer. Could work into the placings.

Was safely held when eighth at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after travelling close enough but lacking the dash to go with Shinonome. The start prior was more useful, finishing third to Lot Pilina, and she has one win and three places from seven starts at this track and distance. From barrier one she can settle economically, so a rebound would put her right in the winning discussion.

Recent form makes it hard to build a strong case, with a tenth to Turtle In May last start when beaten over 10 lengths and unwanted in the market. His previous eighth to Smart Coral was weaker again, beaten over 14 lengths after never looking likely. A long career record gives him some background depth, but his current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Returns from a six-month break after putting together two dominant wins at this track before the spell. He beat Pure Collection by seven lengths, then backed it up by defeating Vacio by four lengths as a very short odds-on favourite. Two wins from two starts at this venue and the same perfect record with Manato Hida are strong pointers, and he resumes with the form edge to take beating.

Kept battling when sixth to Turtle In May last start, beaten seven lengths at long odds, which was sound rather than threatening. Two back she worked home well for fourth to Smart Coral and her broader track-and-distance record is reliable, with one win and eight places from 23 attempts. She profiles as a genuine place hope, though the winning spark still has to sharpen.

Improved into fourth behind Turtle In May last start, but was still beaten six and a half lengths and went around at long odds. The start prior was a long way off Smart Coral, beaten over 12 lengths after settling well back and never threatening. He has won at this track and distance, yet his current figures suggest another lift is required to trouble the main chances.

Bounced back strongly to beat Smart Axion by a neck at this track last start, justifying odds-on favouritism and finding enough when challenged. The second-last effort behind Final Feliz was disappointing, but his overall profile at this track and distance is compelling with three wins and one place from seven starts. Race fitness and proven winning form make him a serious danger.

Finished second last to Turtle In May last start, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds after offering little in the run home. That followed a ninth to Smart Coral, beaten over 14 lengths when never in the picture. Her track-and-distance place record gives some context, but the recent form is too plain to recommend with confidence.

Returns after two months since an eighth in B4 grade at Nagoya, where she was beaten just over seven lengths after finding little when the race was there to be run. The prior ninth at Kasamatsu was costly as favourite, but she now drops in class and joins the Sameshima Katsuya stable. Her 1400m record is sound enough to keep her in the place mix if she settles back into form.

Returns after four months away, having ended last campaign with a sixth in C1 grade at this track when beaten just over eight lengths by Geopark Pirka. Her previous third to Soreike Ginchan was more encouraging, and the drop from C1 company helps. With three wins and seven places from 16 starts overall plus a strong Isao Yamaguchi record, she can run well fresh.

Finished last to Turtle In May at this track last start, beaten over 19 lengths and unwanted in the market after giving away a big start. The run prior was also safely held, finishing seventh to Smart Coral and beaten over 12 lengths. His career record has some substance, but recent efforts and an unplaced track-and-distance record make this a tough assignment.

Tracked the speed but did not finish it off when eighth to Turtle In May last start, beaten seven and a half lengths as an outside chance in betting. He was fourth to Rising Hearth the run prior, though still beaten just under six lengths and unwanted in the market. Placed form at this track and distance helps a little, but a maiden record from 26 starts is a major hurdle.
