GOING: N

Class 5 Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD   Snow (Max: 5)    

Haksan Sword to take charge ahead of Royal Socks at a strong tempo. HAKSAN SWORD (9) recorded a strong maiden win over 1300m at this track last time, getting there by 3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Lee Dong Ha sticks and he is a key runner. ROYAL SOCKS (10) found a couple better when resuming last start at this track over this distance after he was in contention on the turn. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from four starts. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Sure to be in the finish. J ONE POWER (4) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. GIDAEHARA (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Nicely placed to turn things around.
