GOING: G

BUSAN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Colonel. HIGH PERCENTAGE (4) got the job done with ease over this course and distance last time out, winning by 2.3L. He only rises 2.5kg for the win and the form out of the race has stood up well. Draws to get every chance once again and he looks set to bring up back-to-back wins. GOLDEN LONG (1) drops back into C4 today after a couple of fair efforts in tougher company recently. Derek Leung knows the gelding well and he was only narrowly beaten in a similar race three starts ago. Should be prominent from the outset and may take plenty of catching. TOGEPI (3) is usually about the money and closed off nicely in a high rating effort here 49 days ago. His recent trial was only fair, but he's been in the market his past couple is not to be discounted. THE PERFECT MATCH (5) kept up well over 1000m last start and looks as though he'll enjoy the rise in trip. Did pull up with an issue on debut as well. Open to improvement.
