YEONGCHEON HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pressure primarily from Vigor Elleegant, Perfect General and Crystal Powerful. PERFECT GENERAL (2) has been in the money in all of his 3 starts this year and was a beaten favourite in the 2 most recent of those efforts. His last start was 6 weeks ago, and he has won a trial since then. A 3kg claim makes him the one to beat in this. GIDDY UP (1) did a good job last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten only half a length. He was held up at a vital stage in his most recent race, and with the winkers on for the first time, he can go one better. LOVING VIBES (10) finished fifth here 2 weeks ago after racing keenly during the middle stages. He was knocking on the door before that, and can make amends. Follow your money. CRYSTAL POWERFUL (7) is chasing down a hat-trick of wins and only has to cope with a 2.5kg weight rise to be among the hardest to beat again. Stick with him.
