GOING: F

Class 5 Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

Solid tempo with Great Top leading from Who Is Next and Shoot For Themoon. GREAT TOP (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 1300m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHOOT FOR THEMOON (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1300m at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he should be in the finish again. WHO IS NEXT (5) finished fourth when resuming last start at this track over 1300m. Has since changed yards and significantly he won second-up when last in work. Can make his presence felt. SUN JAE (3) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1400m contest at this track last time out by 3 lengths. One of the main contenders.
