Saga Race 2 - Race 2 - 1300
IRO JUS KO (5) appeals third-up after a solid 4th at Saga over 1300m on 1 Oct (5L, 54kg), and draws barrier 5. SONYO (8) is consistent at this trip with 4th then 5th at Saga 1300m in September/October (margins 23L then 5.75L) and can hold a spot from barrier 8. PRAYER ONLY (4) has the August 22 Saga 1300m 2nd on the page before drawing better here (barrier 4) and returns to 55kg. KASHINO TSUKIYOMI (3) drops back to 1300m after a 2nd over 900m at Saga on 26 Sep (8L) and maps well from barrier 3.

Fourth-up and back 200m to 1300m with 55kg, he draws the inside after racing wide from barrier 11 when 7th over 1500m at Monbetsu on 17 Sep (SP 8). Earlier 4th over 1000m here on 12 Aug (SP 5.5) suggests the shorter trip and soft draw can help him hold a spot.

Draws barrier 2 and reunites with Takuto Demizu, who was aboard for her best recent run when 4th of 6 at Saga over 1300m on 25 Jun (HEAVY) at 54kg, beaten 4.35L at $101 behind Bermuda Boy. Since then she’s struggled on FIRM going, including 12th of 12 here on 29 Aug over 1300m at $151, but a softer surface or a rails run from the low draw could help her hold a spot.

Found the sharp 900m more to his liking last time at Saga, finishing 2nd of 9 on heavy in 55.4s at $21, albeit 8L behind Magissa Kirke. Steps up 400m to 1300m, a trip where he finished 8th and 5th in August and early September, so the rise is a query. Draws barrier 3 again and sticks with Ren Hasegawa; needs to transfer that sprint form to the longer trip.

Runner-up three starts back at Saga over 1300m (FIRM) when $3.4, but the 20L margin to Wrapping Film tempers that effort. Since then he’s finished 6th/12 (8L) and 7th/10 (7.55L) at the same trip, and returns on a 14-day turnaround with 55kg from barrier 4. Needs to lift to recapture that earlier placing.

Third-up and on a 14-day turnaround, she improved to 4th of 10 at Saga over 1300m last time, beaten 5L (54kg, SP 29) after a 4th of 5 over 900m on debut when 13L off the winner (SP 2.15). Draws barrier 5 after jumping from 3 last start, and her two local runs suggest she’s building a base to be competitive again around this trip.

Brings exposed 2YO form at Kasamatsu over 1400m, latest 6th of 7 on 22 Sep beaten 28.01L (SP 81) on FIRM, with Lacrime the winner. Prior run was 5th of 7 on HEAVY over the same trip, and her best this prep was 4th of 6 on 27 Aug when 9L off Onbait. Drops 100m with 54kg and a slight barrier improvement to 6, so a measured showing is the aim.

Fourth-up and back from a short turnaround of 14 days, she improved to 6th over 1300m at Saga last start, beaten 7.25L at $81. Earlier 3rd over 900m on debut shows some early promise, and a kinder draw than last time (barrier 7 today) can help her hold position. A measured each-way hope to find a minor placing with further improvement at 54kg.

Fourth-up and returning to 1300m, she posted her best result at this trip and track when 3rd of 9 at Saga on 22 Aug (FIRM) carrying 54kg at $8.5, albeit beaten 22L by Wrapping Film. Since then she was 4th of 9 over 900m on heavy (26 Sep), so the rise 400m looks a more suitable set-up. Honest enough at this course with a track record (3:0-0-1) and can hold a spot from barrier 9.
