GOING: M

Class 1 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 28)   True  

Keen battle for the lead between Dokki Bulpae, Wolf Play and Global Bobae in advance of Mighty Pop and Morning Hill. DOKKI BULPAE (7) was an effortless winner last time over 1600m at this track, scoring by 6 lengths. He has been freshened up and should be very hard to beat again. GLOBAL BOBAE (9) was prominent from the outset when second over 1400m at this track last time out. Should camp just off the leaders and is expected to be in the finish. WOLF PLAY (8) did not fire last start after winning 2 races on the bounce before that. The key here is the extra 400 metres and he is worth another chance. SKY MANGCHI (5) ran below expectations last start, finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths at this track over 1400m. He is much better than that and with a freshen up, he is worth including in all combinations.
