GOING: M

Class 4 Handicap 1800m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 16)    

Genuine pace with Last Dragon taking up the running ahead of Happy Blue and Sangsanggeuisang. LAST DRAGON (9) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1400m at this track to make it two on the bounce. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. HAPPY BLUE (2) improved last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1800m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SANGSANGGEUISANG (6) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 5.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1800m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. BABEL HEART (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. The engagement of Song Keong Yun is a positive move. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
