GOING: F

Class 4 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 28)    

More Than Joke and Flying Day to take up the running at a strong tempo. MORE THAN JOKE (2) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on April 19 over 1400m when he scored by 2.5 lengths. Nicely placed to get the job done again. FLYING DAY (6) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing seventh over 1600m at Busan 62 days ago. Well placed to make amends. DALMAJI (8) held on well to finish second last time out over 1600m at this track after leading for much of the way. Among the main hopes. SMART MUSIC (4) was well in the market first up from a spell last start over 1700m at this track but was safely held in eighth, beaten 8 lengths. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance.
