SAGA   30 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Cupid's Arrow. SCHWARZ NAGA (5) has been going well this prep, scoring last start over 1400m at this track to make it seven wins from nine runs this time in. This is her optimum trip with three wins from six starts and is right in this. KITO WIN (6) built on a nice second two starts back here with success as favourite over 1400m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by a head. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. RHEIN ANGELA (8) produced a solid effort last time when fourth over 900m at this track after she was handy all the way. Has four wins at the trip. One of the better hopes. CUPID'S ARROW (10) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when third over 1400m at this track. Expect a better run this time.
