Saga Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
STAR OF CHARGE (11) maps as a leading chance off a solid Saga 1300m run on 19 Sep (4th, 1.5L at 55kg) after a prior 2nd on 6 Sep over the same trip, and he’s proven at the venue. ESKEN SNIPER (9) arrives off a last-start Saga win on 21 Sep over 1300m (by 0.3L at 55kg) and can progress at 1400m. WILFRED (10) disappointed here on 19 Sep (6th, 4.6L at 55kg) but its prior Monbetsu 1000m win on 11 Aug was sound and he stays at 55kg. KRAKEN (2) has consistent Saga form including 3rd on 19 Sep over 1300m (1L at 55kg) and draws barrier 2 for a soft run up in trip.

Draws the inside gate and drops to 54kg, returning from a month off after a solid Monbetsu 1000m campaign that featured 2nd placings on 7/29 (4L at $4.4) and 8/12 (3L at $2.15). Her two runs from low barriers have both produced thirds, suggesting the draw can help offset the rise to 1400m. A consistent mare at 1000m who can settle handy from barrier 1 and give a sight up in trip.

Returns to barrier 2 after a solid 3rd at Saga over 1300m 21 days ago, beaten 1L at $31 from barrier 9 under 55kg. Earlier posted a decisive 1300m win at Saga at $1.6 on FIRM, and draws better here with only a minor distance lift from that last run. Genuine prospect if he holds the level shown in the latest effort.

Returns to barrier 5 with Isao Yamaguchi back aboard, the pairing having combined for a win and a second at Saga earlier in the prep. Recent 1400m efforts were well back, but his prior 1300m win here came as a short-priced favourite, and today’s draw looks more favourable. A cleaner beginning from this gate can see him improve.

Runner-up two starts back at Saga over 1300m on Heavy (54kg, SP 8.5), beaten 3L by S One Mokochan, then placed 3rd next run over the same trip (SP 5). Subsequent efforts have been well back, but she draws barrier 6 here after wider gates in two of her last three and comes in on 54kg. Capable of improving if she can reproduce that late-June form.

Returns from a 52-day break with 54kg and a 200m rise in trip, having won over 1000m at Monbetsu first-up (SP 3.4) before a 2nd over 1200m on SOFT behind Labyrinth Tiara (SP 20). Her latest run was a forgive result, finishing 13th of 14 over 1200m on FIRM, beaten 17.45L by Sellout Crowd. Capable at this course and trip based on that prior 2nd, so a better showing is within reach.

Stays around the trip with only a minor +100m shift and keeps Tooru Takeyoshi, who is 1-from-2 on him. That recent win and the established rider-trainer combo give him a solid platform to hold form.

Runner-up two back at Saga over 1300m (SOFT) when 2L behind Kashino Hood Star at $61, then held 4th there 21 days ago over the same trip, beaten 1.5L at $51. Draws wider today (barrier 11, up from 4) but owns a solid local record at Saga (5:1-1-0). Competitive on recent efforts and capable of figuring with a similar run.
