SAGA   05 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of speed with Twilight Saga, Go All The Way and Kashino Asap leading Arthur Tesoro and Lupus Tesoro. TWILIGHT SAGA (3) was impressive last time at this track, scoring by 3 lengths over this trip. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Expecting a bold showing. LUPUS TESORO (7) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by a head at today's track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. GO ALL THE WAY (10) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1300m, beaten a neck. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on four occasions from seven starts. One of the main contenders. ARTHUR TESORO (11) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Going up a level this time but he can get the job done.
