GOING: S

Class 3 Handicap 1800m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 17)    

Good early pace with Mega Dragon, Burui Sinhwa and Luxury Captain matching motors. MEGA DRAGON (7) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1600m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. LUXURY CAPTAIN (8) is overdue after three straight minor placings, the latest when narrowly defeated over 1800m at this track after being handy all the way. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. K N SKETCH (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BURUI SINHWA (3) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 1800m. Finds a nice race and can atone.
