GOING: S

Class 5 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 20)    

Genuine tempo from Giant Step leading Magic Strong. MAGIC STRONG (1) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. GIANT STEP (4) finished just a neck from the winner in second last start over 1400m at this track after racing on the speed. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. STUNNING MONEY (3) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Winning rider Cho Han Byeol sticks and he is definitely worth including. MYUNGJINBULLPAI (7) won her maiden four starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at her last two runs, most recently when third over 1300m at this track. Can sneak into the finish again.
