Saga Race 8 - Race 8 - 1300
LUPUS TESORO (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 9 lengths over 1750m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Major player. PALM BEACH (11) went forward last start and gave a great sight when second over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent despite the wide draw. Bold showing expected again. GOLD SIRKA (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Anticipating another big run. NISHINO SUNSTONE (6) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
