GOING: SP

Class 5 Handicap 1800m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 24)    

Plenty of pace likely from Barbell Trofeo, Heuimang Gunju and Champ Sonny battling for the lead from Alice Marine. HEUIMANG GUNJU (2) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on July 4 over 1600m when he got home by half a length. Winning rider Jung Do Yun retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. BARBELL TROFEO (3) is still a maiden after nine starts. Managed to find the placings at this track two starts back before finishing fourth over 1800m at this track last start. Among the leading chances. ALICE MARINE (8) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 13 lengths into ninth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Well placed in this line-up and is among the better chances. CHAMP SONNY (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 21 lengths away in 11th over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
