SAGA   19 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Lumen leading the way. LUMEN (6) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by one length at today's track and trip last start to maintain her good form of late. Worth noting Shoma Kanayama goes aboard. Finds another suitable race and can maintain winning form. CRY ME A RIVER (1) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 7 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and four placings from seven tries. Likely to feature. RINEN SPIRIT (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 1400m. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. G T SPICA (3) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
