Saga Race 2 - Race 2 - 1300
MITONO KISEKI (6) appeals most off the 3rd over this trip two starts back and consistent placings in two of his last three; the drop back to 1300m suits after a plain 1400m run. CHAIRO SUMMER (3) is a leading threat after a clear 3rd at this track and trip last start, holding the best recent 1300m finish among these. MELODY AI AI (2) has claims from an inside draw with a last-start 2nd at 1300m here, though the margin was 5L. PRAYER ONLY (1) is a place hope with multiple runs at the course and trip but needs to bridge sizeable recent margins; narrow edge to MITONO KISEKI (6).

Draws the inside after jumping from barrier 4 last time, which could help over the same 1300m at Saga. Last start he was 4th of 9 here over 1300m on 17 Oct, beaten 11.5L at $13.00, having previously finished 7th of 10 over this trip on 1 Oct, beaten 7.55L at $5.50. Inside draw and track familiarity give him a chance to settle into the race more comfortably.

Second go at 1300m here last time produced a much-improved 2nd of 8 at Saga, beaten 5L at $20.00. Draws better from barrier 2 after jumping from 7 there, which can help hold a handy spot. Prior run at the trip was 8th of 10, so the latest effort reads as a clear step forward. With the softer draw and proven track/trip, Melody Ai Ai has claims to run well.

Placed 3rd over this track and trip on 17 Oct at $51.00, albeit beaten 8.5L on firm ground. Draws better from barrier 3 after jumping from 6 there. Lightly raced 2yo filly with scope to tighten and hold a midfield spot in this line-up.

Back to 1300m after finishing 8th of 8 at Saga over 1400m on 11 Oct, beaten 10.56L at $51.00. Prior run here at 1300m on 27 Sep was also 8th of 8 on heavy, beaten 24.3L at $11.00. Jun Tanaka sticks, and the return to this trip is a small positive based on the most recent margin.

The inside draw has improved from barrier 8 to 5, which can help at 1300m around Saga. Last start here over 1300m on 27 Sep she was 5th of 8, beaten 7.3L on heavy at $22.00. Prior run was 8th of 12 over this trip on 29 Aug on firm, beaten 8.6L at $81.00. Small barrier lift and experience at the track and trip give her a chance to settle into the race better.

Fourth up and placed in 2 of last 3, with both thirds coming at Saga. Latest was 6th of 8 over 1400m here on 11 Oct, beaten 8.05L at $8.50, but prior he ran 3rd of 10 over this 1300m on 1 Oct, beaten 2L at $7.00. Track record reads (3:0-0-2), and this trip looks the more suitable of his recent runs. Mitono Kiseki has the platform to hold a competitive spot back at 1300m.

Back to 1300m at Saga where he’s twice finished 4th of 8, most recently on 18 Oct at $16.00. That latest run was a sharper effort than his 12 Sep outing at the same trip and track. With Tooru Takeyoshi booked again for Motonori Mashima, the set-up is familiar. Holds a place chance if he can build on that recent improvement.

Back to Saga 1300m where he improved sharply last start, finishing 5th of 9 on 17 Oct after starting $23.00. That was a clear step forward from his 8th of 10 here on 5 Sep over the same trip. With Ren Hasegawa booked, he has a platform to hold that improvement at this track and distance.
