THE KOREA RACING AUTHORITY TROPHY (HANDICAP) 1000m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Fast pace assured with Nervous Witness, Whizz Kid and Harmony N Blessed leading the charge. Cracking race with a a few chances. HUMBLE STAR (9) ended his last campaign with a 1.3L win over this course and distance 147 days ago, and he'll be fitter for two trials coming in. He's won 3/6 first-up and he's drawn to stalk a hot speed for Teetan. Will take plenty of beating at the bottom of the weights. HARMONY N BLESSED (7) was far too good when running them off their feet over 1200m most recently, winning by 2.3L. Back to this trip isn't a worry as he's won four times at the course and distance. Drops plenty of weight and will take catching. WHIZZ KID (1) made a name for himself over this course and distance before his rating forced him to race at Sha Tin of late. He's won 4/8 at this track and trip and he has the speed to get across from the alley. Expecting him to get back to his best. SEASONS WIT (4) has been just fair his past few, but he's won 4/6 at this track and trip and he now gets Purton in the saddle. This looks a target race for him.
