GOING: G

Class 3 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 28)    

Solid tempo with Achim Dongja leading from Jeomsuni Go and Uptown Whiz. JEOMSUNI GO (2) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1800m at this track on October 29. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Best form puts her right in this. ACHIM DONGJA (8) has been thereabouts since scoring at this track on September 16 the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track. Unplaced only his try at this trip. Form at this track is solid. Among the leading chances. KWAEHYANG (10) finished sixth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths as favourite after being in the firing line on the turn over 1400m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. GIANT PUNCH (9) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to bounce back.
