GOING:

Class 4 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 30)    

Solid tempo anticipated with Start Up and Royal Plus pressing forward with Hanmadimaldo not far away. START UP (5) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 9 lengths over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. TRISTAN WANGJA (6) has been in the money at both runs this time in, the latest effort a second over 1400m at this track. Should appreciate the extra ground. Among the major players. HANMADIMALDO (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 1700m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. VINCERO KING (1) was beaten 11 lengths into ninth over 1400m at this track seven weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
