GOING: M

Class 4 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 18)   True  

Genuine tempo with Nice Force leading the way. NICE FORCE (7) displayed plenty of early toe and kicked strongly to score over 1200m at this track last time. Carries more weight this time but is a top chance. GWANAKSAN LEO (2) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1200m at this track, finishing second and beaten a head at $26. Should feature again. ULTRA MANGCHI (5) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1200m at this track when he was in the firing line all the way. Likely improver with strong prospects. USEUNGHAL GYEOLSIM (1) is a colt by Khozan out of Cry At My Wedding making his first appearance. In the placings at the most recent trial under today's rider Yoo Seung-Wan. Betting the best guide.
