GOING: S

Class 5 Handicap 1800m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 23)    

Moderate tempo with Every King Iji leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. BLACK FALCON (6) has been about the money without winning, the latest offering a third over 1600m at this track. Another big run is likely. DREAMING BOY (3) improved last start to finish third over 1600m at this track after being prominent at the bend. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. POMPEII (7) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1800m, beaten a neck. Ready to win. HI CHAMP (1) finished 11 lengths from the winner in seventh at his most recent outing over 1800m at this track. Solid top-three chance on his best figures.
