GOING: F

Class 2 Handicap 2000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 20)    

Smart Boss and Yeonggwanguifirst to battle for the leading role. YEONGGWANGUIFIRST (1) turned in a fine effort to score by 9 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LAST DRAGON (6) scored last start by half a length at this track over 1600m. Has a very good record here including five wins from 10 starts. Bold showing expected. SMART BOSS (11) was safely held when third last time out over 1800m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. This doesn't look as hard so he is a leading contender. HUNTER DRAGON (8) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 13 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth another chance.
