GOING: G

JEJU HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with Sky Heart going forward from the good alley. FLYING FORTRESS (8) was a brave winner by a length at this track and distance last start after some solid lead-up form before that. He is back in form and only has to cope with a 3.5kg weight rise to double the dose in the same class. DEFINITIVE (5) went forward last start over 1650m at this track and held on well for second. He has won at the trials since then and is nicely placed to go one better here. SKY HEART (1) raced below his best last time over 1800m at Sha Tin. He will find this easier and looked sharp at a recent trial. He is having his first start on the track, and from a good gate, he can bounce back into the money. Each way value. HAMERON (2) has been mixing his form and was good enough to win a similar race here in February. He has Zac Purton in the saddle for the first time, and the pair merits healthy respect.
