Saga Race 7

1400

Prize Money: $7,443

AKDENIZ (3) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Key runner. HURRY FLAG (4) scored by 3 lengths over 1300m at this track last start. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts four wins and one placing. Well placed and should be in the finish. ORO BLANCO (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Well placed to find winning ways. B B DAIGO (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 9 at this track on May 31 over 1400m, 6 len behind Palm Beach with 54kg at $2.90. Before that 3rd of 9 at this track on May 17 over 1300m, 1.3 len behind Major Tesoro with 54kg at $4.40. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.

Recent form sound. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on May 31 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Soreike Ginchan carrying 56kg at $2. The start before that won by 1.5 len at this track May 23 over 1300m defeating Hurry Flag with 56kg at $1.80. This is well within his grasp.
