GOING: G

INCHEON HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

No obvious leader in a race that lacks much early pressure on paper. CAN'T GO WONG (10) was a big winner two back before bumping into a solid race at Sha Tin most recently, beaten 2.5L. Getting back to this course and distance may hold the key and he draws softly this time around. Can get back into the winners stall today. SNOWALOT (2) ran over the top to score over this track and trip last time out, scoring by 0.5L. Zac Purton remains in the saddle and he's trialled nicely since that effort. Drawn a bit better today and is sure to make his presence felt. PEGASUS GENERAL (4) is racing well of late without winning, finishing 2L away over 2200m most recently. His record at the trip is a little niggle, but he draws well for Chung taking 2.5kg off. Won't be far away on recent efforts. VIVA HUNTER (3) ran on well at big odds last start and has claims.
