GOING: SP

Class 5 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 24)   True  

Good early pressure for top spot with Dragon Punch or Gonjohari likely to take up the running. FANTASTIC DREAM (8) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed and he is likely to feature in the finish again. COLUMBIA CHAMP (11) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a second last start over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HEUIMANG GARAM (1) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish third over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. DRAGON PUNCH (5) closed last prep four-and-a-half months ago when she finished sixth over 1400m at this track. Has sound form here including a win and two minor placings from four starts. Key contender.
