20.25 Kempton: Jewelled @ 4/1 Bet365 - 4pts win
Jewelled stepped up quite a bit in trip last time out at Lingfield when she tried 12f for the first time. She didn't seem to have any problem with the new distance though, but as a former 10f Brighton winner she was entitled to do so. She ran a big race that day, settling in midfield, travelling much the strongest but when she tried to make headway from 3f out to get into a good position turning for home, she got hampered and a clear run denied. This incident pretty much at the entrance of the final bend cost her dearly in the end. Approaching the home straight she had to fight for position and close the final furlong marker she finally got out and room and was also able to straighten up quickly enough in order to charge home and chase the leaders. She came close and finished extremely strongly, but it wasn't enough to catch the winner. The incident around 2f out cost her the win in my mind. Still a huge performance and she clearly demonstrated that of her current low mark she is more than capable of winning. She drops slightly in trip tomorrow, back to 11f, which shouldn't be an issue. The field is smaller, which should ensure a clear run in theory and I feel she has a couple of pounds in hand, also runs well on the All-Weather usually. She must have an outstanding chance of winning tomorrow.
