GOING: G

Race 8 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Good early pace with Pandeiro, Tosen Gemini and Sun Huntsville matching motors. TOSEN GEMINI (9) was an impressive winner last time over 1500m at this track, leading throughout and putting 4 lengths on her rivals. Has a strong record at this course, scoring two times from four starts. Among the leading chances. PANDEIRO (10) changes rider since being well held last time in seventh over 1400m at this track on August 19. Key runner on his best form. FILAMENT (12) is a 15-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Kawasaki. Will take a lot from that hitout and looks a strong chance to break through. SUN HUNTSVILLE (6) was beaten 6 lengths into sixth in a 1400m contest at this track at her latest appearance. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
