GOING: N

Class 3 Handicap 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 33)    

Expecting Tanseongui Banseok to take up the running with Yeongwon Big Man and Blue Nello close at hand. EAST WEST (10) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1800m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. DRAGON GATE (8) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 6 lengths into third over 1800m at this track when he was in the firing line all the way. Nicely placed to find winning ways. BLUE NELLO (6) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1800m, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Reunites with Kasim A'isisuhairi which is a proven winning combination. Has claims on his best figures. YEONGWON BIG MAN (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. In the mix.
