GOING: G

Class 2 Handicap 2000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 33)    

Genuine tempo with Haneul Manjeom to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. LAST DRAGON (1) has been kept fresh since finishing third over 1800m at this track five weeks ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. UNJU GUY (11) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1800m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. DOCTOR CAPTAIN (3) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a second at this track over 1800m when he was beaten 4 lengths. Park Jae I stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on five occasions. Capable of running a bold race. HANEUL MANJEOM (4) was sent out favourite last time when a close second over 1600m at this track. Weight reduction will suit. Has been in strong form this campaign, registering five wins. Solid claims on best form.
