GOING: G

Class 1 Handicap 2000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 33)    

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Gangpungma and Black Belt. GANGPUNGMA (6) was in a different class last time when a dominant 5 lengths winner over 2000m at this track, adding to his fine recent form. Top chance once again. BLACK BELT (8) scored over 2000m at this track two back then found one better last time out over 2000m here. Racing well and has definite claims at his best. MONEY CROWN (4) settled well back and never threatened when 11th over 2000m at this track last time out. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MEGA DRAGON (7) was beaten 14 lengths into seventh over 2000m at this track eight weeks ago. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
