KRANJI AW   16 Jun 2024
 
GOING: N

CLASS 4 1700m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 30)    

Genuine tempo with the speedy Nature Chief leading the way. LIM'S PUNCAK JAYA (1) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Has to go an extra 100m but looks sure to run well again. FREE AND HAPPY (3) was given a short break after winning over 1600m at this track six weeks ago. Kept ticking over since that run with a trial on 23 May. Well placed here and is a strong each-way chance. LONGEVITY (5) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing 1.5 lengths away in third last time over 1600m here. Nicely placed to play a major role. NATURE CHIEF (7) went forward and gave a great sight when third over 1800m on turf last time out. Likes the all-weather. Do not underestimate.
