Saga Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
A SHIN DAZZLE (5) boasts an impressive record of seven wins from 14 starts. Built on his credentials last start when a winner by 1.5 lengths over 1750m at this track. Top strike rate at the journey and is right in this. KOMA ZERO ONE (1) has been kept fresh since finishing fourth over 1400m at this track five weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. This is his optimum trip with four wins from six starts and is sure to run well. GOOD TIMING (3) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance 11 months ago. Worth plenty of thought fresh. SHONAN DOUGLAS (8) ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten 1.2 lengths. Can fill a top-three spot.
