GOING: M

Class 4 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 18)   True  

In the absence of noted leaders, Ara Moa and Final Chukje may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. ARA MOA (4) knuckled down strongly to get within one length of the winner in third last start over 1400m at this track. Should be winding up late again. ILDONG BAKSU (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 14 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. GEUMAK JINJU (1) is mixing her form, the latest effort a sixth over 1400m at this track. Worth another chance. EUNBIT DOLPUNG (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1400m after being up on the pace until straightening. Likely improver who should be about the money.

The run before that favourite; won by 1.0 len at this track March 8 over 1200m in soft going defeating Saharamond carrying 52kg at $15. Drawn to get the gun run out of the inside stall.

Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
