GOING: G

Class 4 Handicap 1700m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 33)    

Strong early tempo with Smile Gold and Awesome Queen leading the way. SMILE GOLD (1) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1700m at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. AWESOME QUEEN (7) really dug deep to salute by 2.5 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Lim Da Bin who has two wins when partnering stays on. Well placed and should be in the finish. SUPER BLUEMOON (4) fought on well for third last start over 1700m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Strong record with Kim Tae Hun aboard, including two wins. One of the main contenders. GLORY CITY (5) failed to make an impression last time out, settling well back and finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. Settles back early but winds up late. Will be doing his best work late.
