Saga Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
BRONZITE (8) Made no mistakes when winning by a margin of a distance last time at this venue and strong performer at this distance in the past. Must be considered. DIGNIDAD REAL (4) Put the head down when winning last run at this track. Made it 2 wins on the bounce. Can go through the gears. Underrated. OKANO TIARA (5) Ran 5th last run here. Needs some luck and is an each way suggestion. THERMAL (7) Came in 5th last start here. Should come to hand quickly. Can threaten if right today.

Was safely held when eighth at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Apollon Tesoro after being unwanted in the market. The start prior was a fourth, but she was still beaten nine and a half lengths at big odds. Her track-and-trip record offers some grounding, yet the recent margins leave her with a sizeable form gap to close.

Picked up nicely in the straight when fourth at this track last start, although the margin was still over 10 lengths behind Janus Tesoro and she was unwanted in the market. That was a clear improvement on the start prior, when she led and dropped out to finish last. Her record at this trip and recent placing rate keep her in the minor-money discussion, but she has to convert effort into sharper finishing.

Was disappointing last start when second last at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by Visu Iijan after settling just off the lead. The run prior was more encouraging, finishing fifth and beaten three and a half lengths by Feles Adamas after picking up well. He is proven at around 1400m, but the lack of track success makes him more of a place chance than a win threat.

Comes in chasing three straight after winning at this track last start, picking up sharply to beat Sky Accel by half a length as a short odds-on favourite. He had also scored by two lengths from Mozu Natsuno Jin the run prior and has now won two of three at this venue. Manato Hida stays aboard and has a strong record with him, giving him the most reliable winning platform in the race.

Loomed up but did not go on with it when fifth at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Apollon Tesoro as an outside chance in the betting. She had earlier finished seventh, beaten just over six lengths behind Feles Adamas. Her distance record is sound enough for a placing, with three placings from five starts at the trip, but she must finish off more strongly to win.

Was only fair through the line when sixth at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Visu Iijan at generous odds. The start prior was similar, finishing seventh and never a winning hope behind Final Feliz. She has placed often enough to earn respect underneath, but remains winless after 31 starts and must lift sharply to trouble the main chances.

Loomed up but failed to finish it off when fifth at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Apollon Tesoro at long odds. The run prior was also plain, finishing sixth and beaten five and a half lengths after weakening late. With no wins from 26 starts and only one placing from eight at this track and distance, he looks stretched on current form.

Put the race away decisively at this track last start, beating Renegade by a long way as a short odds-on favourite. That followed a four-length win over Isa Gold, again as a dominant favourite, so his last two starts have carried real authority. Two wins and one place from three starts at this track and distance, plus Shinsuke Ishikawa unbeaten on him, make him a major winning chance.

Returns from a five-week freshening after being beaten a nose by Brave Sugar at this track, where she was near the top of betting and was only pipped at the post. The start prior was plain in a Mdn at Sapporo Dirt over 1700m, but this latest 1400m effort is the right reference. She is still a maiden, yet that near miss gives her a genuine winning claim if repeated.

Settled handy and finished fourth at this track last start, beaten nine lengths by Apollon Tesoro at big odds. Her previous second behind Dantsu Alarm was better, but that still came with a five-length margin and she was at long odds there as well. Two wins and three places from 25 starts at this track and distance give her some base, though others bring stronger recent figures.

Finished last at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths by Apollon Tesoro after settling rearward and making no impression. The start prior was also well short of the mark, second last and beaten over 10 lengths by Feles Adamas while unwanted in the market. A 56-start maiden record leaves him facing a very difficult assignment.
