GOING: S

Class 5 Handicap 1300m

Track: WET   Clouds (Max: 26)    

Genuine tempo with the speedy Hwasangwihwan leading the way. HWASANGWIHWAN (7) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 1300m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect another big run. THUNDER A ONE (1) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Inside draw will assist and he is one of the main chances. TRISTAN WANGJA (8) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1300m at this track. Will need a good ride from Yoo Seung-Wan off the awkward draw. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. P N S THE KING (5) was never in contention last time over 1400m at this track when he finished sixth, beaten 14 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
