GOING: S

Class 5 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 19)   True  

Genuine pace with Jechuk Iho taking up the running ahead of Royal Best and Storm Guy. ROYAL BEST (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. JECHUK IHO (2) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1300m at this track five months ago. Generally performs well here and has registered four minor placings. Right in this. MENI SPEAR (11) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when seventh over 1300m at this track. Has further improvement to come and is ready to show what she can do. TAMRA CHOEGANGJA (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
