Saga Race 9

1400

Prize Money: $15,923

DIGITAL SCION (1) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1300m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Drawn for a nice run just off the speed. This doesn't look as hard so he could prove hard to beat. CHEERING SONG (8) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh at this track over 1300m. Ideally placed and worth consideration. T M SINISTER (2) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1400m here last time out. Yet to win this track and distance but has recorded four minor placings from six attempts. Has claims on his best efforts. AITAKA (3) improved last time out, finishing third at the end of 1300m at this track. No surprise to see her in the frame.
