BUSAN   18 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Class 5 Handicap 1800m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 20)    

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Indy Ghost. GLOBAL WONDER (9) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. BARBELL MOMO (7) is overdue for a win with two recent placings, the latest finishing third over 1600m at this track, and is down in the weights this time. Rates strongly and looks one of the leading hopes. INDY GHOST (5) improved last time out, finishing half a length from the winner in second at the end of 1600m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. THEIA (12) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1800m at this track. Likely improver who should be about the mark.
