GOING: F

Class 1 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 33)   True  

Solid tempo headed by Giant Step and Forever Dream. GIANT STEP (2) started at $5 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing seventh over 1600m at this track. Worth noting Kim Yong Geun goes aboard. Finds a nice race and can make amends. GOOD PILSEUNG (1) returns from a spell. Finished fourth at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep five-and-a-half months ago. One of the genuine hopes in the race. NEULGAEUL (10) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fifth over 1600m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so he is among the leading chances. FOREVER DREAM (3) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 1600m. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time.
