GOING: M

Class 3 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 18)   True  

Moderate pace with Geumbit Cheonha taking up the running ahead of Nano Masin and Baramui Geom. GEUMBIT CHEONHA (7) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3.5 lengths away in third over 1600m at this track when he was in the firing line all the way. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. NANO MASIN (9) scored narrowly over 1600m at this track last time out with today's jockey R Maia in the irons. Down in the weights this time so he is a leading contender again. ENDING FIRE (8) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 7 lengths into fifth at his latest appearance over 1800m at this track. Back-marker who keeps coming. Winning claims on best figures. BARAMUI GEOM (10) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was in contention on the corner before being beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1800m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
