GOING:

Class 3 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 23)    

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Pepper X. PEPPER X (5) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by half a length over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. NAEGILUI WINNER (2) made it five minor placings in a row last start when second over 1200m at this track. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MIGHTY SHONE (1) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track when coming back from a break. Jo Jae Ro stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Capable of running a bold race. DOKKI DRAGON (10) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten a head. Will be rock-hard fit. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
