Saga Race 1 - Race 1 - 900
SUNNY GARDEN (10) appeals most dropping back to 900m after a 4th over 1300m and a 5.5L 5th at this trip, which stacks up against rivals with wider defeats. CHARON TESORO (8) is the main danger off a debut 3rd at the course and distance, the clearest recent effort in this field despite a wider draw. KEY TO SUCCESS (3) can improve second up after a 4th here, while PRAYER THUNDER (4) has been well held but did finish 5th over this trip earlier. Slight lean to SUNNY GARDEN (10) in a thin race.

Draws much better from barrier 2 and drops to 51kg after racing from 7 and 54kg last start. Was 6th of 8 over 1300m here on 1 Nov, beaten 24.3L at $126.00, and prior finished 6th of 9 over this 900m here on heavy on 26 Sep, beaten 19.6L at $201.00. The kinder gate and lighter weight give this filly a more suitable set-up back at 900m.

Second up after a Saga 900m run on 31 Oct when 4th of 6, beaten 13.5L at $51.00. Stays at the 900m and keeps Manato Hida. Scope to improve with the run under the belt, but needs to bridge a sizeable margin.

Draws better in to barrier 4 after jumping from 7 last time. Best effort came over this 900m at Saga on 18 Jul when 5th of 11, beaten 12L at $11.00. The drop back to the short course and a kinder gate give Prayer Thunder a more suitable set-up.

Second up after a Saga 900m run on 31 Oct when 6th of 6, beaten 17.6L on good going at $81.00. Keeps Daiki Oomi and stays at the 900m. Needs to lift on that effort, but race experience and continuity can help. Scope to be more competitive second up.

First starter colt for Masanori Mashima with Toru Takeyoshi booked. Debuts at 900m at Saga, a sharp test for a juvenile. Pedigree by Mont Blanc Tesoro out of Pearl Princess offers some speed cues for this trip. Market and parade will guide, but the setup is tidy enough for Tarvos Tesoro.

Third up and back to 900m after a wide-margin 7th over 1300m at Saga on 1 Nov at $51.00. Earlier effort at this trip was 6th of 7 at Saga on 17 Oct on firm, beaten 25.5L at $91.00. Draws on experience at the track and distance, with Tsubasa Kamo staying aboard, but needs to lift to get into the finish.
