GOING: G

Class 5 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 22)    

Seocheon Lion is the likely leader at a keen tempo. RICH GATE (9) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Hard to beat. MUSS QUEEN FLY (3) was safely held when third last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. EXCELLENT TAN (5) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when prominent at the turn before finishing fourth over 1300m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SMART CAT (4) is resuming from a spell of 11 weeks and having his first run for the Choi Bong Ju yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track over 1000m.
