GOING: N

Class 5 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 33)    

A strong tempo is assured with Gold Catcher and Clair Big Bang leading the charge. CLAIR BIG BANG (9) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1400m. Kept fresh for this and looks the testing material again. GOLD CATCHER (2) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Placed last time over 1400m at this track but prior to that put together two wins on end. Well placed here and among the leading players. BULGEUNTAEYANG (11) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1400m at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider C C Wong stays aboard and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. JOY CHEONHA (4) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. Expected to be competitive.
