Saga Race 3

1800

Prize Money: $19,186

O K ANGEL (7) clearly brings the brightest recent form, having put together two dominant 1400m wins at Saga, the latest by nine lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite in 3yo+ C1 grade. She rises to 1800m, which is the main test, but she has already won at the distance and her current form gives her the strongest winning profile. SCEPTRUM (6) is the obvious danger after consecutive Saga seconds and his record at this track and distance, along with the return of Isao Yamaguchi, keeps him very close in the assessment. DEAD VLEI (1) was sharp winning a 3yo+ B3 over 1400m here and is proven at the journey, though he has to repeat that after an inconsistent run prior. HO O JUBILEE (3) was poor at Saga last time, but her Kawasaki second two back is good enough to keep her in the minor-money mix if she rebounds.

Comments

Turned his form around at Saga last start, winning a 3yo+ B3 over 1400m by two and a half lengths from Cosmo Coraggio after travelling with a slim advantage and putting it away well. That came after a rearward seventh behind Lux Mendes at generous odds. Proven here and at the trip, but the step from 1400m keeps the winning case just below the top pair.

Comments

Has been well held in two 3yo+ B1 runs at Sonoda, finishing sixth behind Namura Teddie last start when beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. The run prior was similar, with a seventh behind Z Silvia and no real headway. The class drop helps only slightly, as the rise to 1800m and recent margins leave him with plenty to find.

Comments

Had a run to forget at Saga last start, finishing second last behind Lux Mendes and beaten over 18 lengths after never getting involved. Her previous Kawasaki effort reads much better, working into the race to finish second in a 3yo+ C1 and beaten a length by Live Driver. Fourth-up and with class relief, she can rebound into the placings if the latest run is left behind.

Comments

Has offered little at the past two Saga starts, finishing second last behind B B Belleza last time when beaten over 16 lengths at long odds and failing to run on. He was ninth behind Cosmo Basileus the run prior, beaten a long way after being unwanted in the market. A class drop and light weight are positives on paper, but he needs a major lift.

Comments

Recent Saga runs have been short of winning standard, with a seventh behind Lux Mendes last start when beaten over 10 lengths at big odds after giving away a big start. She was sixth behind Caldwell the run prior and again well back in the market. Her past 12 months include one win and four placings from twelve starts, so a minor share is the more realistic target.

Comments

Has put together consecutive seconds at Saga, most recently working home into second behind B B Belleza when beaten six lengths after being near the top of betting. He was even more competitive the start prior, beaten two lengths by Brave Decision after just being run down late. With one win and two placings from three attempts at this track and distance, he has the right credentials.

Comments

Has been dominant in two Saga wins this campaign, backing up a six-length 1400m success over Fukuno Sunano Bara with a nine-length 3yo+ C1 victory over Astaequus as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. She has won both starts at this track and is unbeaten with Takuto Demizu. The move to 1800m is the main query, but she brings the strongest current form.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Comes off a heavy Sonoda defeat, finishing last behind Star Of Adam in a 3yo+ C1 and beaten a long way at long odds. His previous fifth behind Crown Heart was also well held, beaten over 15 lengths despite picking up in the straight. He has won in the past year, but this distance rise and recent form make this a difficult assignment.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Improved into third at Saga last start behind B B Belleza, coming from a long way back to get into the money despite being beaten ten lengths at big odds. His previous fourth behind Brave Decision was also sound only in a minor sense, with Sceptrum clearly ahead of him recently. Third-up and proven at the distance, he can hold place claims without looking a major threat.
