GOING: M

Class 5 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 28)   True  

Genuine tempo from Apple Queen leading Cheonguchat. APPLE QUEEN (8) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 1300m, beaten 1.5 lengths. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Winning rider Song Jae Chul stays aboard and the pair can repeat the dose. CHEONGUCHAT (7) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2 lengths away in third over 1300m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. CHEONJI SKY (5) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at this track over 1300m, beaten 1.1 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Ready to win. DOWN THE ZONE (10) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at this track before finishing third, beaten 2.75 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
