Saga Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
ASTER NILGIRI (11) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Has a strong record here at this journey with three wins from four runs. Finds a suitable race and can take this out. CESA SUNRISE (3) showed early speed from a good draw last time and led throughout to score by one length over 1300m at this track. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and shapes as a key contender. CROWN CUE (4) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 900m at this track. Should be prominent again from the low draw and anticipating another big run. NANGOKU CANDLE (6) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when third over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.

Racing well recently. Most recently won by 0.8 len at this track February 25 over 900m defeating Fer A Cheval with 55kg at $7.40. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at this track on February 8 over 900m, 3.5 len behind Remigino Tesoro carrying 56kg at $3.70. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Last start eased back early on 7th of 12 at Funabashi on February 12 over 1200m, 11 len behind The Big Man with 54kg at $186.40. The race before that second last of 12 at Funabashi on January 21 over 1200m, 15 len behind Shiny Duque carrying 54kg at $316.50. Other runners are much more appealing.
