GOING: M

Class 5 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 26)    

Reasonable tempo with Austin Leader probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. STRENGTH (5) finds it hard to win but was in the finish last time when beaten 0.7 lengths into third over 1400m at this track. Can play a major role. AUSTIN LEADER (2) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the turn at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths starting at $2.88. Nicely placed to turn things around. EUREKA (10) fought on well for second last start over 1300m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. O Su Cheol stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Should be involved in the finish. ARCH RUNNER (1) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third over 1300m at this track. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
