GOING: N

Class 5 Handicap 1700m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 33)    

Raon Nothern Dance should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. RAON NOTHERN DANCE (9) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his fifth at this track the run before. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BEOLGYO D Y (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 14 lengths when sixth over 1700m at this track five weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. APPLE STYLE (4) finished 4.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1300m at this track when resuming from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Among the chances. GANGCHEOL DRAGON (3) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Ready to go a couple better.
