GOING:

Class 2 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 31)    

Looks a keen contest with Shadow Hunter and Geosen Bangyeok pressing for the lead with Kongnamul and Saenae Town close at hand. SHADOW HUNTER (2) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track nine weeks ago. Goes very well at this journey, boasting five wins from nine starts and is sure to run well. SAENAE TOWN (5) has been kept fresh since finishing fourth over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Well-placed to return to winning form. KONGNAMUL (7) did a great job to score by 1.3 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can win again. GEOSEN BANGYEOK (8) hasn't raced since finishing fifth at this track over 1200m four weeks ago. Kept ticking over with a recent trial win at Seoul. One of the likely contenders.
