GOING: N

Class 5 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 4)   True  

Flex Engine, Speed Top and Beolma King to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. SPEED TOP (2) produced a reasonable effort after being prominent at the turn to finish a neck away in second last start over 1200m at this track. That followed a win on debut at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. ROAD TO THUNDER (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1200m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FLEX ENGINE (3) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1200m at this track three-and-a-half months ago and has not been produced since. Sure to make his presence felt again. BEOLMA KING (8) closed last prep ten weeks ago when he finished third over 1300m at this track. A bold showing is expected.
