JEJU HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD
Harmony Fire, Youthful Spirits and Beauty Waves to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. HARMONY FIRE (4) led them up but was only caught late in the race, beaten just 0.5L. He'll carry no weight again today and draws a softer gate to find the front. Meets his main danger better at the weights and can reverse the result of last start. BEAUTY WAVES (1) ran over the top to beat Harmony Fire last start to capitalist on his recent form. Strong to the line there and did it relatively easily on the post, but he does meet them 2.5kg worse today. Racing in fine form though and is sure to make his presence felt again. HEROIC MASTER (2) finished third in that race after getting back in the run from barrier two. Drawing away from the rail should help Bowman this time as he drops 1kg from his last start effort. Likely to be in the finish again. MAJESTIC EXPRESS (6) makes his HK debut today and has looked good in his trials coming in. Nicely drawn and can make an immediate impact.
