Race 9 1000m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Keen speed battle, with A T Spica, Symboli Light and Monter Jewel prominent. SYMBOLI LIGHT (12) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and will be a tough nut to crack again. HILLBILLY ELEGY (5) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1000m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. A T SPICA (11) last raced when successful by a nose over 800m at Urawa four-and-a-half months ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims. MONTER JEWEL (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 6 lengths away in fifth over 800m at Urawa. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
