GOING: G

YEONGCHEON HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Honest Witness should find the front with King Glorioso and Lean Master on his heels. HONEST WITNESS (4) led over this course and distance last time out and held on to win by a head on the line. He's been back to the trials since here he looked good and Purton remaining in the saddle is a big push for his chances. Drawn better this time and can repeat the dose. KING GLORIOSO (9) is better than he showed last start where he faded out of contention late in the race. He draws much better this time around however and now Vincent Ho hops on board. Can run a much better race today. THE PERFECT MATCH (6) is better than he's shown his past couple where he had to work early to find a spot in the run. Finds a suitable race this time around however and he can make amends. GOLDEN FRIENDSHIP (12) may be looking for the drop in class today but finds a suitable race here with an inside draw. Include.
