GOING: S

Class 4 Handicap 1800m

Track: WET   Clouds (Max: 26)    

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Effel Tap. EFFEL TAP (9) won his maiden six starts back and is ready to salute again after a string of recent placings, the latest when second over 1800m at this track. Expected to cross from wide out. Overdue and should go close. DALKONG (8) was beaten 8 lengths into third at this track two starts ago then finished 13 lengths from the winner in fifth last time at this track. Key runner who can get off the mark. CHEON GUN (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1800m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. GWANGCHIGI (4) returned from a spell six weeks ago when he was in contention on the bend before being beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1800m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well.
