SEOUL HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A strong gallop is likely with Glory Elite and Colourful King taking up the running, closely attended by Aurora Lady and Whizz Kid. COLOURFUL KING (8) made it 2 wins on the bounce when scoring comfortably here last time out. Andrea Atzeni has been the pilot in his last two wins, and a hat-trick is not beyond them. AURORA LADY (2) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago, then was a bold second here over 1200m last time out. Zac Purton knows him well, and they will be tough to beat in this suitable race. RED ELEGANCE (3) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. He put together a brace of wins here in February and will be ready to rumble fresh up. SON PAK FU (1) drifted back and never threatened when eighth last start over 1200m at Sha Tin. His record on this track is much better, and in his first start over 1000m, he can have a say in the outcome of this race. Each way value.
