SAGA   21 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Namura Kamejiro and Realisation will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. KASHINO MENKOCHAN (9) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Nicely placed to take this out. AILE DENON (3) improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track, after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. TWILIGHT SAGA (10) last appeared when she scored over 1300m at this track on October 19 2024. May need the run off such a long break but has ability and finds the right race to kick things back off. DOWN TO EARTH (7) disappointed last start when out of the placings but can get things back on track this time.
