YEONGCHEON HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine tempo from Sweet Diamond leading Viva A La. TACTICAL COMMAND (2) has been closing off well in recent efforts after getting well back in the run. He now drops back into C5 where he won a similar race just 3 starts ago, and he gets Zac Purton in the saddle. This looks a targeted attack and he looks set to return to the winners stall. VIVA A LA (9) settled midfield and bolted in over this course and distance 35 days ago, winning by 1.3L. He's been very good at the trials since that effort and he only rises 2kg after the claim of Poon. Rates highly on his latest effort and can make his presence felt again. BEAU GOSSE (3) wasn't far away on the All Weather surface last start after a placing over 1650m two back. Hugh Bowman rides today from a better gate and he's placed 2/2 at this track and trip. Should be right in the finish. MILLENNIUM FALCON (11) disappointed out in trip last time out and is suited better coming back to 1200m. Include.
