GOING: SP

Class 2 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 24)    

Cardinal Force to take charge ahead of Geuma Distinction at a good tempo. CARDINAL FORCE (10) has switched yards since finishing second seven weeks ago over 1600m at this track. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. GEUMA DISTINCTION (6) had been rock-solid with three placings in a row before finishing seventh over 2000m at this track last start. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. FANTASTIC WOMAN (4) performed above expectations last time over 1600m at this track, getting the prize by half a length. Capable of another bold performance. FLYING KHAN (1) resumes in a similar race to his last run three-and-a-half months ago when ninth, beaten 7 lengths. One to consider.
