GOING: N

Class 5 Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 33)    

Anticipate White Carla, Royal Socks and King Of Dragon to set a strong tempo. HAKSAN PRINCE (10) is a 10-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when 2 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. This looks a nice assignment. KING OF DRAGON (7) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 10 lengths away in 11th over 1400m at Busan on November 24. Trialling well leading into this. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Reunites with Kim Yong Geun who has a win when partnering. Likely to feature. ROYAL SOCKS (6) looks to launch this prep the way he ended the last three-and-a-half months ago when he scored over 1300m at this track. Serious threat. HOLY KAISER (8) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1300m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
