GOING: SP

Class 5 Handicap 1800m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 24)    

Genuine tempo from Eclipse Black leading Sanbang Bomnal. ECLIPSE BLACK (6) made a strong late bid only to just miss last start over 1700m at this track. Ready to go one better. SANBANG BOMNAL (1) made progress last time out, finishing 15 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1700m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. GRATITUDE (4) did her best work late to finish third at a huge quote at her latest appearance at this track over 1400m. Settles back early but winds up late. Watch for a big run. UMA DACHI (2) was given a short break after finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Kept ticking over with a subsequent trial at Seoul. Solid each-way chance.
