GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo, primarily from Monter Jewel and Two M Tiger. MONTER JEWEL (5) lines up for the first time since July 9. Looking to emulate her win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Sure to make her presence felt. PINO MORAN (6) settled well back then found the line nicely to finish fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over this journey at this track last time out. Sure to prove tough to stop. TO THE EARTH (3) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by half a length over 1500m at Funabashi. Backmarker who keeps coming. Winning claims on best figures. GLORIOUS FILL (10) was well-fancied when resuming last start but could only manage ninth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Has a solid second up record. Can do better this time.

The race before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on November 28 over 1500m, 1.5 len behind Double Raise Card carrying 56kg at $20.20. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
