Saga Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
A SHIN TAVERNA (3) started at $1.40 last time but could only manage sixth, beaten 3 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Has a decent record at this track. Should be in the finish. FAHREN JOE (5) scored at this track last time out with a head in reserve at the end of 1300m. Has three wins here. Winning rider Shinya Matsui stays aboard. Likely to feature. ARTHUR TESORO (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 4 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. RINEN SPIRIT (7) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
