GOING: SP

Class 5 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 12)    

Doubt they will go too hard without a noted leader engaged. WONDERFUL SPIRIT (3) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Well placed and should be tough to beat. EXCELLENT MATTA (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. UPPERHAND (5) was an emphatic winner last time over 1400m at this track with today's rider Jeong Woo Ju engaged. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from six starts. Looks one of the prime contenders. FREE TIME (4) resumes after a break of three months. Hoping for a repeat of his debut win over 1200m at this track to kick off last prep. Sure to make his presence felt.
