GOING: SP

Class 2 Handicap 2000m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 25)    

Unju Challenge and Yeosu Super Star can set an even tempo. DOCTOR CHRIS (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. UNJU CHALLENGE (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish half a length away in second over 1800m at this track. Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to take this out. STORM FIGHTER (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 2000m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. YEOSU SUPER STAR (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 13 lengths over 2000m at this track. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Can feature in the finish.
