GOING:

Race 9 900m Track:
Strong tempo expected with Loppis, Martee and Adenium prominent. VARIATION (10) brings the strongest recent profile, having won here two runs back from Sorpresa before finishing second to Queen Saga, albeit beaten eight lengths. The drop to 900m is the main query, but her record at Saga and with Takuto Demizu gives her a clear platform. MOVE THE CROWD (4) is the danger on consistency, with a half-length second here two starts ago and another respectable effort over 1300m last time. KEI EMPEREUR (8) is easier to make a case for than the ninth placing reads, beaten only three and a half lengths here last start after a plain prior run, though the shorter trip still has to suit. ADENIUM (12) is a genuine place hope rather than a confident winning play, with strong Saga place statistics offset by a maiden record and a poor run two back.
1	00502	TOKAI TIERRA HIROFUMI WATANABE 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Akira Uchimura Worked home from well back to finish second here last start, beaten seven lengths by Odai on good ground after starting at generous odds. That was a clear lift from a well-held last in a 3yo COND at Kochi over 1300m, and the return to Saga was encouraging. She is still a maiden from seven starts and likely to be ridden quietly, so the winning case has limits, but another placing is within reach.	1 MANATO HIDA
2	40094	PIENO D'AMORE HISAMI YANO 4YO BLACK FILLY 54.0KG Cosmo View Farm Co. Ltd. Made solid late ground for fourth here last start but was still beaten ten lengths by Odai after being big odds. Her previous ninth behind Cosmo Roma, when unwanted in the market, was only fair, and she has yet to place in one try at this distance. A past Saga win and class relief are small positives, but she needs a sharper finish to trouble the main chances.	2 TAKU KAWASHIMA
3	50709	MY HOME HEROINE HISAMI YANO 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 51.0KG Mill Farm Co. Ltd. Finished ninth here last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Odai after settling back and only making limited ground. That followed another heavy defeat when tenth behind Oro Khrysos, also beaten over 14 lengths, and the market has shown little interest in both runs. The lighter weight helps on paper, but her recent form leaves a sizeable task.	3 CAMELLIA SOUTA
4	77425	MOVE THE CROWD Sameshima Katsuya 3YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Backed up a near miss behind Cosmo Roma with a fifth here over 1300m, beaten six and a half lengths by Turtle In May after being run down late. The prior half-length second reads strongly for this grade, and she has a Saga win in the book. The drop back in trip is the question, but her recent form is good enough to make her a major player.	4 HIROKI YAMASHITA
5	05080	CLARIS HIME HISAMI YANO 3YO DK B FILLY 53.0KG Him Rock Racing Holdings Co. Ltd. Finished well held here last start over 1300m after settling rearward and starting unwanted in the market. Her previous eighth behind Neo Diamante was also plain, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds. With no placing from eleven career starts and no real recent spark, the class drop is not enough to recommend her strongly.	5 OMI DAIKI
6	31886	MARTEE KAZUO HAMADA 5YO CHESTNUT GELDING 56.0KG Kazuya Sugiura Was in touch but failed to threaten when sixth here last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Queen Saga at big odds. Two back he worked home evenly for eighth over 1400m, beaten just over six lengths, and he also lost to Variation recently. The class drop and return of a winning rider help, but he looks more a place chance than a winning threat.	6 JUN TANAKA
7	34569	LOPPIS SHIZUO OSHIMA 4YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Mill Farm Co. Ltd. Dropped out to finish ninth here last start, well beaten by 21 lengths after racing prominently and coming under pressure late. The run prior was better when sixth behind Shosan Kanao, beaten just under five lengths, but she was again at big odds. A Saga win and prior success with this jockey are positives, yet she must lift substantially.	7 TSUBASA KAMO
8	09659	KEI EMPEREUR KATSUTOSHI TESHIMA 5YO BAY GELDING 56.0KG Latest ninth here was better than the position suggests, beaten only three and a half lengths by Meisho Poirot over 1300m. He had been well held the start prior behind Odai after starting at long odds, so consistency remains the concern. Class relief and prior Saga form keep him in the mix, provided the return to 900m does not blunt his finish.	8 LEO NAKAYAMA
9	40990	ROYAL CAPITAL HISAMI YANO 4YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Yuko Nakamura Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last here over 1400m, never competitive and beaten out of sight by Nobu Nori O. Her previous ninth behind Attrare was also plain, beaten just over eight lengths at big odds. The broader record is stronger than the latest form, including a distance placing, so she can improve into minor money if forgiven one poor run.	9 REN HASEGAWA
10	92512	VARIATION RYUMA KANAGAWA 4YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Masanobu Habata Comes off a solid second here behind Queen Saga, beaten eight lengths but respected near the top of an open market. That followed a determined win at Saga over 1300m, scoring by half a length from Sorpresa at generous odds. Her track and jockey records are both strong, and while 900m is a fresh test, she brings the most reliable recent form.	10 TAKUTO DEMIZU
11	68406	TRAUMBILD SHIZUO OSHIMA 5YO BROWN MARE 51.0KG G1 Racing Co. Ltd. Was sixth here last start but beaten over 15 lengths by Sunrise Hunter at big odds, and the prior last behind Odai was no better, beaten over 19 lengths. Her overall record is modest, and being unplaced in all 13 starts at Saga is a clear concern. Weight relief and class drop are not enough to offset the depth of recent defeats.	11 GOTO MUSASHI
12	22206	ADENIUM RYUMA KANAGAWA 4YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Koji Murano Finished sixth here last start over 1300m, beaten five and a half lengths by Yui Avenir, which was a fair recovery from being beaten out of sight in a 3yo+ COND the run prior. She remains a maiden, but eight placings from twelve Saga starts is a meaningful pattern. The 900m test is new, yet she profiles as a genuine place chance.	12 NAOHITO TANAKA
