Saga Race 9

1800

Prize Money: $15,870

QUEEN SAGA (2) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has scored at her last two, the latest over 1400m at this track winning by 6 lengths. Races well here and will go close again. MAGIC AROMA (1) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and led for much of the way before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Jun Tanaka who has scored on her three times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. LAS ELLE (4) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing sixth last time out over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders. T M PYRO DAN (3) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Record here is impressive with three wins from five starts. Cannot be underestimated.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at this track on May 2 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Miyano Quinley with 54kg at $1.60. The run before that favourite; won by 2.5 len at this track April 18 over 1400m defeating Shizuri carrying 54kg at $1.50. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.

Form hard to fault. Last start came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on May 2 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Miyano Quinley carrying 54kg at $4.80. Before that 2nd of 11 at this track on April 18 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Las Elle with 54kg at $10.70. No surprise if she was in the finish.
