Saga Race 1 - Race 1 - 1300
TSUKIYONO NEGAI (5) appeals third-up after a 2nd at Saga 1300m on 5 Sep (SOFT), beaten 6L carrying 55kg as $1.83F, and should relish staying at the trip. HIRO SAKAE (4) is the danger off a strong 3rd here over 1300m on 29 Aug, only 2L away at big odds. TWINKLE VITA (1) maps well from barrier 1 and was 2nd on debut at Saga 900m 22 days ago; rises 400m but draws to advantage. MOON OF THE GOROUS (6) was 3rd behind the same 5 Sep winner at Saga 1300m and is also third-up, in the mix for minor money.

Second-up after a debut 2nd at Saga over 900m (GOOD) 22 days ago, beaten 2.5L at $2.15 from barrier 1. Draws the inside again and rises 400m in trip, with Shinsuke Ishikawa taking over from Manato Hida. With a solid first-up platform and the rail draw, she looks set to be competitive.

Returns to barrier 2 with 54kg after a 27-day break, and her best efforts at Saga 1300m include a 2nd on Heavy and a close 3rd beaten 1.5L in July. Recent runs were below that peak, finishing 7th/12 at $11 and 9th/11 at $67 over this trip on Firm. Proven at the track and trip with multiple placings, so a return to that mid-year form would see her competitive.

Drops to 51kg and draws barrier 3 after a 27-day freshen, which could aid her consistency at Saga 1300m where she’s yet to place (5:0-0-0). Recent runs include 11th of 12 here on 29 Aug over 1300m (FIRM) at $151, 17.85L from Davay Speedy, but her best this prep was a 4th of 9 on 20 Jul over the same trip at $23. Needs to reproduce that July effort with the lighter weight to be competitive.

Third-up this prep she improved sharply, running 3rd at Saga over 1300m on 29 Aug (54kg, SP 41) beaten 2L by Davay Speedy in a 12-runner field. Stays at the same trip from barrier 4 with Ren Hasegawa again, and her Saga 1300m record (3:0-0-1) suggests she’s tracking the right way for another honest showing.

Third-up and improving, he was a clear 2nd at Saga over 1300m 20 days ago (55kg, SP 1.83), beaten 6L by Timbre Tesoro after drawing barrier 3. Prior run he was 3rd over 900m (SP 1.5), so this trip looks more suitable based on that progression. With consistent local figures this season (2:0-1-1) and the same rider, he profiles as a solid chance to hold form.

Third-up and back to 1300m at Saga, she was 3rd of 10 last start over this track and trip on soft, beaten 26L at $31 behind Timbre Tesoro. Sticks with Taku Kawashima and draws barrier 6; holds a minor placing at the track and trip and can build on that with further experience.

Returns after 27 days with consistent exposure to Saga 1300m (3:0-0-0), most recently 9th of 12 over 1300m here on 29 Aug, beaten 11.6L behind Davay Speedy at $151. Has raced exclusively at Saga with a best finish of 4th over 1300m on heavy, and keeps 54kg from barrier 7 under Jouji Komatsu. Needs to lift on recent margins but a clean run from the middle draw could see her hold a position.

Fourth-up and back to 1300m at Saga, she was 8th of 12 last time (81 SP) over 1300m on firm, beaten 8.6L by Davay Speedy from barrier 9. Her prior 1300m run here produced 4th of 8 (61 SP) but at a much bigger 26.5L margin behind Kraken, so an improved finish last start is at least a step in the right direction. Draws barrier 8 and sticks with Takuto Demizu; needs another lift to feature.
