GOING: FM

Class 3 Handicap 1600m

Track: FIRM   Clear (Max: -1)   True  

Slick tempo with Naegilui Queen to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. SATANG SONYEO (5) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1700m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is good enough to take this out. HAENGBOKAN SEUNGJA (8) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 6 lengths into third over 1600m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. QUEEN TOP (7) turned in a fair effort at Busan over 1800m at her last run three months ago, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. One to consider. NAEGILUI QUEEN (9) returns from a spell. Finished fifth at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep 12 weeks ago. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Don't underestimate.
