GOING: G

DAEGU HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD
A good tempo is expected with Fortune Warrior prominent. Happy to side with GRAND NOVA (4) on debut after a very nice trial on the All Weather recently. He's trialled against some quality gallopers coming in and Hugh Bowman takes the ride for his debut. In a race that appears to lack depth, he's the one that appeals most. GREAT ACHIEVER (8) gets the blinkers on first time after a solid effort from beyond midfield last time out. He's racing in good touch without much luck and he still has good upside being lightly raced. The blinkers may sharpen him up and see him go very close. FORTUNE WARRIOR (2) fell out the back of the TV last start on the All Weather but did pull up with an issue. Back to this course and distance where he has won before and Teetan hops back in the saddle. Expect a much better effort. LEAN MASTER (9) steps out to 1200m once again and has claims on his recent efforts.
