GOING: S

Class 5 Handicap 1700m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 10)    

Reasonable tempo with With Dis Kuro probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. MEGA STEP (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. WITH DIS KURO (6) is a promising galloper who got the prize at his only run last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 1700m at this track. Fitter for recent trials. Goes well when fresh including a win and two minor placings. Winning rider Cho Han Byeol stays aboard. Sure to play a big role. EUMSEONG POWER (11) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1700m at this track, an improvement on his ninth at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SMART WORLD (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at this track over 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects.
