GOING: S

Class 4 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 23)   True  

Pace looks genuine from Star Changer, Dalmaji and Bright Winner, closely attended by Toho Sky. TOHO SKY (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1600m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Should be handy in the run. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. STAR CHANGER (4) is a speedy filly who was a winner first up at this track seven weeks ago. Kim Jeong Jun goes well on this three-year-old and is back on top today. Expecting a bold showing. BRIGHT WINNER (5) took advantage of the good draw and raced on the pace last start then boxed on well to finish third, beaten 8 lengths, over 1700m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. DALMAJI (8) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.
