GOING: S

Class 5 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 17)    

Seobu Teuksong, Sunny Road and Navy Chrome will be keen early so the tempo should be genuine. NAVY CHROME (5) broke through for her maiden win over 1300m at this track last time, scoring by 4 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Lee Hyeon Jong sticks and she is a key runner. ACRO MARINE (7) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths starting at $3.50. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. THORUI MANGCHI (8) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Likely improver with bright prospects. AUSTIN LEADER (10) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at this track over 1200m. Nicely placed to bounce back.
