Saga Race 7 - Race 7 - 1300
DAIMEI NOBORU (9) Resuming from break. Good win by 1L last run at this track. The wide alley shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Has to be strongly considered. MEINER GENIUS (5) Tidy run when 2nd last time around here. Can win this. HAKUAI TOWER (4) Was dominant when winning by a margin of 4L last start at this venue and form has been improving over recent runs. Has a nice turn of foot. Must respect in this event. DANTSU ALARM (3) Secured the win by a slim margin last start here. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. Jockey Manato Hida is in top form for this stable. Shows good closing speed. Underrated.

Was a major disappointment first-up at this track, finishing second last as a short odds-on favourite and beaten over 15 lengths by Hosumani En. His start prior at Niigata Dirt was also plain in ALLOW grade, where he settled rearward and made no impression. One win from eight starts overall and a distance query leave him with plenty to prove despite the inside draw.

Has been well beaten at both recent starts, most recently seventh at this track when beaten over 14 lengths after never looking a winning hope. He was also safely held as a well-supported favourite two back, which tempers the positives in his profile. His overall record is sound and he has form around this distance, but current form makes him a rough place chance only.

Brings the strongest recent profile after back-to-back C2 wins at this track, most recently beating Chica Mallorquina by half a length when sent out an odds-on favourite. Her previous win was more emphatic, charging home to score by five lengths over Stereopsis. Two wins from two starts at this distance and a perfect record with Manato Hida give her a firm platform to win again.

Improved through the campaign and broke through stylishly last start, beating Brave Sugar by four lengths in C2 company at this track after travelling right there and quickening clear. That followed a third to Smile Brocken when he worked home into the frame. He has now won and placed from two starts at this venue, so a repeat puts him in the minor-money fight.

Went close at this track last start, finishing second to All Nippon and beaten a length and a half after tracking into the race and fighting on. That followed a narrow B4 win at Mombetsu when at long odds, so the form has substance rather than being a one-off. His record with Shoma Kanayama is solid and he has placed twice from two starts at this venue, making him a strong winning chance.

Was fair late from a long way back when sixth at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths by Tagano Artemis after starting at big odds. The run prior was another sixth, beaten over 10 lengths, and he was unwanted in the market. His broader 1300m record is useful and he has won at this track and distance, but recent efforts point more to a minor-place ceiling.

Has not shown enough in two recent runs to make a strong case. She was eighth at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths and unwanted in the market, after having too much ground to make up. Two back she was second last and beaten over 13 lengths after having a suitable run. Proven around this trip in the past, but the current form reads poorly.

Resumed with a sound third at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by All Nippon after travelling handy and fighting on before peaking late. That also leaves him with a recent line through Meiner Genius, who finished ahead of him in the same race. He has placed twice from four starts at this track and distance, so he is a realistic place hope with fitness to come second-up.

Returns from a five-month break with a strong overall record, having won four of nine starts and placed twice. He ended his last preparation by winning a COND at this track, beating Citrine Tesoro by a length after travelling in front and extending comfortably. The fresh run is the key variable, but his proven winning profile around this distance makes him a genuine threat if ready.

Recent form leaves him with work to do. He was seventh at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Tagano Artemis after conceding a big start, and two back he led into the lane before tiring to finish sixth. He has placed three times from six starts at this track and distance, but those placings are not enough to offset the latest form slide.
