GOING: S

Class 5 Handicap 1700m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 19)   True  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Max Gold leading the way. MAX GOLD (7) won his maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when third over 1400m at this track. Strong record with Kim Tae Hun in the irons, including a win. Sure to play a big role. THE GIANT (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m after being prominent from the outset. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to take this out. ENTROPY (9) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1700m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LONDON VICTORY (8) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1300m at this track. Was outdashed but got going late and appears suited by the longer journey. Solid top-three prospects.
