GOING: S

Race 1 1000m

Track: SOFT     True  

Strong pace from Monter Jewel and Fairy Trail matching motors with Viorna close at hand. MONTER JEWEL (5) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 800m at Urawa. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. VIORNA (8) returns from a break of five-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fifth over 1200m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. FAIRY TRAIL (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 1200m after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. VINYL (4) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth at his most recent appearance over 1200m at this track. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
