GOING: M

Class 2 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 19)   True  

Taewang Singi should lead at a keen tempo. TAEWANG SINGI (2) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1200m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running another bold race. BIWOL (10) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing seventh over 1400m at this track. Among the leading chances. CARPE BABEL (6) drifted back over 1400m here last time before winding up late to finish fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Sure to be winding up late. DOCTOR KINGDOM (4) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2000m at this track. One to consider.
