Saga Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
ANTI JAMILA (8) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.8 lengths at today's track and distance when resuming from a layoff last start. Expect another big run. SAND FALCON (5) is close to a win placing at last couple, the latest finishing second at this track and drops in the weights for this. Has never been out of the money in four starts here at this trip, including a win. Expected to go very well. THERMAL (7) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 11 weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1600m at Mizusawa. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Morioka Dirt over 1400m. Has ability and is a leading player. BATTICUORE (6) improved last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.

Most recently 7th of 9 at this track on March 1 over 1400m, 7 len behind Arrogant Shame with 54kg at $8.50. Before that 5th of 11 at this track on February 14 over 1400m, 7 len behind Smile Brocken with 54kg at $36. Chances enhanced by drawing a nice marble.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at this track on March 1 over 1400m, 2 len behind Daihasshu carrying 56kg at $2.20. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at this track on February 15 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Special Holiday carrying 54kg at $7. One of the chief contenders.

Gelding back from a spell of 11 weeks. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign third of 9 at Mizusawa December 30 over 1600m, 3 len behind Optics carrying 56kg at $2.40. First up last campaign second of 8 at Morioka Dirt September 1 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Edel Mut carrying 56kg at $2. Could prove too smart for these.

Second run back. First-up after three months favourite; won by 0.8 len at this track February 25 over 1400m defeating Win Blanca with 54kg at $1.40. Previously second-up 6th of 11 at Funabashi on December 12 over 1500m, 9 len behind Copano Dylan with 54kg at $9.30. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
